Hi there, we've recently bought a property (which isn't too old..), but we've noticed that the rubber sealants on the doors/windows aren't great...one DIY guy mentioned that these can be replaced/repaired... just wondering if anyone has ever done that or knows anyone who could give a quote...definitely don't feel like replacing the windows/doors!! thanks for any advice !

AKI (like a small Spanish B&Q) beside Carrefour on the N-332 should be able to help.

You can buy suitable rubber seals and felt sealing strips in Leroy Merlin. I replaced all my door and window seals and it made a big difference - particularly the door seals. It's an arse of a job but worth it.

Great thanks... hmm not looking forward to doing it myself... but also thing it's necessary...particularly for winter - don't particularly want all the heating being sucked out the gaps in the doors!! thanks a lot...

the doors are the worst, as the original brown seal will be rather hard and it's not easy to get it out.

I think on ours the seal is black... will see if any of my neighbours have had the same problem... may they know someone who can do it.... can't say I'm looking forward to doing that job!! thanks for the advice !
