Anyone ever patched up an actually ancient Velux window?
Its a 'GGL-8' from defo before 1991. Guy at Velux said its the oldest one anyone has rung about this year, so I guess I get a prize.
Photos not of actual window, can't get to outside with 4 stories of scaff. Leaks in through the handle/vent as the 1) top casing cover plate is full on missing, been blown away some years ago and been steadily leaking ever since. If the wind is in the wrong direction is like someone pouring from a bucket, rest of time its very small amount.
Anyone repaired these? Or shall I just get the local roof guy to do a pro lead work job and totally cover the area thats mean't to be covered by this part. Rest of window is 100% fine and does its job nicely.
