\nWe attended site this morning with Gary from Rights Units<\/a>, their installation manager. We were there to inspect the slight water ingress to flat on the lounge floor from the aluminium door\/windows. I can confirm the fitting has been completed correctly and to a professional finish with silicone sealant as standard, around the whole of the frame.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nAll windows and doors are not completely water tight and often let in heavy rain through the glass sealed units, where it then drains off through the factory fitted plug holes in the frames, through the tiny drain under the sill and the rainwater should then fall away from the framed unit. Upon further inspection we noticed the silicone sealant under the window sill had not been set back enough and the sealant had been applied in front of the small drain outlet which in turn stopped any rainwater from draining away from the windows\/doors and caused it to fall back in to the property<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nWe have removed the existing silicone sealant and re-sealed correctly behind the drain outlet. We believe that the issue has now been resolved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
