I have some french doors in the lounge which leak in rainy weather. They leak badly at the top by where the door opens and also around the sides of the frame leaving water marks on the wall paper and mould at the bottom of the frame in the corners and along the length. We have had the doors for about 20+ years.
I have tried double glazing companies to come out and reseal the frame but they say they do not repair other peoples work.
Just wondered if this is the norm and if it would now be best to look at having replacements put in.
Hey @winnie, I have just added some categories of Doors and Windows to this post in hope it helps to get more responses to you question (it'll notify the Checkatrade members that carry out this kind of work)
I am not sure if it'll help but if you have any images that you can share perhaps of the door and the frame etc please could you share them
