Composite door window leaking!

Frank99

Small amounts of water are coming through the bottom of the beading on the inside of a window on my door after showery rain.
Should i go to the company first who fitted it or try to use some silicone on the outside.

It depends how new it is. If it is still in warranty, then call the installer. If not, I would not add silicone; it would be better to remove the glazing and see if there is a fault that can be identified. It might be that the seal has been damaged, and needs replacing. You shouldn't need to put silicone on the outside.

Thanks, It is 4 years old so your right i should really bring the window company in who fitted it.

We had a similar issue but it had only been installed 1 week. The installer came back out in behalf of the supplier and removed the window before reinstalling it with a bead of silicone around the outside face edge. We've had no issues since in 18 months.

Outside cassette needs a bead of silicone as does the letterbox . sometimes the cassetee becomes loose / open the door and slap it together  might just do it
