Draught proof windows

    Two of the windows (PVC double glazed) at the front of my house seem a little draughty - is there anything that I can do to sort this out.

    Is there such a company to come out and sort it out for me.

    I have tried putting the foam seal around the windows but has not made much of a difference

    It might be that the draught is actually coming from around the frame.
    Check (by sealing the frame with some masking tape) if it this stops it then I would have a look at the sealant on the outside.
    It may have come away from the sill/frame/walls.

    A few years ago a guy who went door to door sealed all our teak windows. He used some sort of silicone which moulded exactly into the gap between the frame and the opening part , it is stuck to the frame and the finish is very neat .

    I assume this can also be used on PVC , does anybody know what this product / procedure is ?
