We moved house today and the 2 Velux windows in the sitting room seem to be draughty. Does anyone have and advice / experience of where to look / how to get these fixed?
Thanks

Gaskets John! A common flaw (or not for Velux given spare parts required!). The main one, which is between the frame and the sash and the often forgotten ventilation flap. Replace them and you should be back in business, once there is no other apparent damage/wear.
Congrats on the move! Stressful times :D
Tec7, yer only man :D
Yeah seals are shot. Can you get to them easily?
Thanks, I'll have a look into the gaskets.Quote:

Congrats on the move. Is the draft coming from inside the frame or around the edges of the frame? Also I hope you have a bit of a driveway to keep that e39 safe & clean!
Thanks, I'm not sure where's it's coming from as its they're 15' above the ground. I'll have to investigate later.Quote:

If your in dublin I can send you a carpenters number who installs velux windows all the time, he most does attic conversions so a lot of experience with them, iv worked with himQuote:
