HELP!!! Badly fitted UPVC windows and composite door

    Badly fitted Upvc windows and Composite Door
    Can anyone out there give us some advice re really badly fitted double glazed UPVC windows and composite door? Or could anyone recommend where or who would be able to sort them out for us. Can these be removed and re-fitted properly? Does anyone have any idea how much this would cost?

    We had the windows fitted about 4years ago by a builder who did some work for us and the door was fitted 3years ago by a different glazier from Wexford. This year we have noticed that we are getting considerable draughts around the top of the door and around the windows and the sound insulation is really bad compared to the single glazed windows and wooden door we had before these new ones were fitted.

    We are guessing its mainly due to how they were fitted, we can see that the white plastic sealant that was used is coming away in many places around both the door and windows.

    Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. We are in the Dublin area

    Thanks for that, we did think that at first, but with the sound thing we're just not sure. I didn't mention this before, but the door lets in water at the bottom where the door meets the door step too....
