  • Common bodge from the past when the windows were one integrated unit. Install from the inside, seal on the inside, non-sealed outside so water gets in between the window and the brickwork.

    As I understand it, window tech has moved on a bit and the panes are installed after the trim has been fitted allowing the installer to do the correct sealing on both inside and outside without the need for a ladder or scaffold.

  • They can still not put all the correct seals on the outside, decorator said ours, done about three years ago, had been bodged by not going up on a ladder to do the outside.

    For some reason I was user124137 for a bit back there.

    they can, but that's not because there was no scaffold, it's because they were ass-hats
