Replacing seals/gasket on a UPVC Window frame

Hi

My seals or gaskets (as I think they are called) on 2 of my windows appear to be worn / cracked / split in places.

Ive had a look at various replacements but cant seem to locate the excat model for them.

Ive tried to take a picture or 2 but not very successfully!

Any idea what model this is (Ive compared it this list http://www.hdhardware.co.uk/techsheets/gasketguide.pdf but none seem to match)

Here is mine:-

    You need a Window Doctor, local classified. Cost me £90 to replace the seals for six windows a few years ago.
  • Thanks - did they take out all the seals & replace them (usually about 3 different sets per window) or just the ones that he thought needed replacing?

    The lot, and double glazing firms also do this. Once they have checked the profile, comes off a huge roll.
    In fact I kept the old set in case. Actually it was £70, probably £90 or £100 now.
    London prices more.
