Why should they replace the windows and doors just because you ask them? Ask them for a jacuzzi and a steam room while you're at it.

No, you haven't got any way to force them to replace these, and there aren't any grants to do it for free either.

I suggest you try the clingfilm secondary glazing on the windows at least - I've used it and found it surprisingly effective (and cheap!).

as me old granny used to say, put another jumper on.

I wasn't impressed with the "cling-film" glazing when I tried it on old Victorian sash windows a few years ago. It rustled like a crisp packet whenever the wind blew, until eventually it came unstuck from the double-sided tape they supplied.

If your windows are reasonably draught-free it may work better.

Sorry but your lucky to even get social housing many people have to pay market rate in live in far worse conditions than yourself. You only deserve new windows/door should they need replacing due to wear and tear or damaged say in a storm
