  • Fixing Windows that have condensation inside

    I've just noticed that 4 of the double glazed windows in my mums bungalow have condensation inside. They arent that old and appear to be in good condition apart from the condensation. Is there anything that can be done to remove it or do the windows need to be replaced?

    Window seal replacement

    I've noticed that when I open my double glazed windows, the seal on the inside are damaged and has a lot of mould. I used to be able to get away with cleaning the inner pvc area once every six months yet I'm noticing it getting mould quickly and needing done at least once a month to stop it from building up. It's mostly affecting the bedroom windows and my upper hallway. I've noticed these windows getting a lot of condensation as well. Is it possible to replace this inside seal and if so what roughly would it cost to do something like this? The windows are between ten and twelve years old I think. Would ideally not want to completely replace as its not within budget just now.

It seems to be a very similar product, ie flexible, waterproof, acetoxy, and I happen to have a tube left over from a recently fitted bathroom. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

    External Window Beads

    I am currently looking at looking to purchase a property and in the survey report it was spotted that the window Beads are on the outside of the property. Does this mean that someone can remove the windows to gain access to the property? Would such a defect void a contents insurance policy? Are there any means of securing the windows even if they are they other way round?
