No doubt they charged the leaseholders (who actually own the windows) a fortune too.My repair was a bit of a bodge but it’ll last 20 years and replacing the whole window would’ve been £££

I’d finished repairing the window
(It was a bit rotten) and put the huge DG unit in - a tricky 2 man job with geckos.

It was just a hard tap.
