Hello, does anyone have experience with UPVC windows. our bathroom window closes, but in one corner it doesnt seal and lets the cold air in? Is this sort of problem common?

Almost definately , a simple adjustment should do the trick but you may need to get some-one in who knows what they are doingI`m now officially too old to die young0 -
sounds like the hinge has snapped at the top these will need replacing .if you measure the length of the hinge down the side of the frame(stainless steel strip)and thedistance between sash and frame to find whats called the stack height you can get replacement hinges .usually they havea name on such as cotswoldif you think peoples advice is helpfull please take the time to clicking the thank you button it gives great satisfaction0
