Hello all! Looking for some help please. We had two new sets of French doors installed in summer. These have been fine until the really wet weather descended upon us. I’ve noticed damp patches appearing on the skirting, trim and plaster. There has also been some mould growth on the silicon...

Hi, I've moved into a property and I have French doors at the back of the property with a window handle on one door and a standard door handle on the other.... Is this normal practice ? If not, is it possible to replace the window door handle with a standard door handle to correct the...

Hi The second door (not the locking door) of my UPVC patio (french) door is jammed. They are hinged doors. I can open the main door easily and lock it up. Thought of opening both doors for the summer but find that second door is jammed. I can feel something hard hitting at the bottom (maybe...

Hi. Can anyone advise as to what is going on in this picture?! I am having a garage conversion done and the white UPVC French Doors have a metal (aluminium?) bottom rail/frame which doesn’t match the rest of the installation. Before I get fobbed off by the manufacturer and/or builder, I am...

Hey all! I've lately been noticing some draught coming from the left side of the left panel of two of my windows. I understand that you can adjust the tightness of the window against the frame by turning the lock head with an Allen key. Unfortunately, only the right panel of my window has a...

We want to put in a door for a room in our apartment. Since there isn't much space for the door to open in the room, we want to go for bi-fold or french/double doors. The opening is ~83cm wide and ~206cm high and the notches on either side 1,5 cm, see attached pictures. The measurements of the...

Hello All, I have just had a set of french doors installed that have replaced a window. The doors themselves look great but i am concerned that the doors have been installed too low. They have been installed one course of bricks under the DPC. Once the cavity is levelled with the rest of the...

Hello, Wondering if I could have some advice on the above. I have a window in a kitchen that looks out to our side return. I'd like to remove the window and the brick below and insert doors. There's a lintel over the window and i'm not changing either the height or width or the opening, just the...
