  • Double glazing is leaking in the spare room. Traced it to the two screws that go through the top of the frame and in to the brickwork, presumably to hold the frame in. Water dribbling past the screw heads and sidestepping the seals on the window. I imagine this is bad because it means water is entering the brickwork somewhere.

    This is a flat, and I don't own the windows, but any bodges anyone can think of - pump silicon sealant in to the screw holes then re-affix? - because being on the fourth floor I imagine getting this sorted properly is going to be a drawn out and painful process.

  • I am ashamed to say that I once bodged something like this with expanding foam. It did seem to stop water ingress until I got the window properly fixed.
