so I'm sat here listening to the wind and rain howling against my very big living room window.....and i hear drip...drip ....drip

Arrrrrrggggh
theres rain coming in from the very top of the frame..I can't even put anything there to catch it..does your house insurance cover for stuff like that...cause I've never claimed owt



Its driving me nuts:why:

If the double glazing firm still exists and they are under warranty,get them to fix it

Failing that B&Q's for a tube of silicone sealant and applicator

Our garage and conservatory leaked like a sieve all day yesterday- they're both watertight but the water gets into the walls of the house above them :rolleyes:

well I woke up to im Indoors pounding on my front door this morning, on his way back to his house from work....the SRX exhaust had tried to drop off!!! he had hung it precariously with a bit of string...lol...he pointed out one of my slates had fallen off my roof, the front door seal has gone and flooded my stairwell carpet....but the front window has stopped leaking for now. I've sealed up the front door threshold( I hope) and will attempt to get up the ladder and have a look at the top of the window tomorrow when its less windy



grrrrrrrr

The wind is whistling through my double-glazed windows, tis blowing a gale out there gotta love living on the sea front :) I've had to duct tape/cellotape up the gaps in the window! I had rain leaking in before but will do for now, landlady a tad useless. Duct tape is a wondrous thing :D

How about laying a couple of teatowels underneath the dripping to muffle the sound?

check your buildings insurance. I claimed a few years ago but was told because it was a flat roof it was not covered.
