Leaking patio door | leaking French door | leaking UPVC door

In this video I show how to fix a leaking French door, but the door could be any kind of PVC type of door, as these have drainage channels at the bottom of the door. Once water runs into the channel, it should be able to run to the outside of the property, but if the channel becomes blocked it can leak on the inside of the property. This can cause serious damage, if it is not corrected as soon as possible.

It looks like we might get another fine day! I’ll be busy working outside, I hope everyone has a great Sunday

Preventative maintenance is always the best way to go. Good video. If your waiting for a nice day to do your cleaning i think that would be today. 👍👍

[@C4sp3r123]

Came to say the same, prevention via routine maintenance is always best 👍

[@C4sp3r123]

I find plastic spacing wedges are very good for running along the gap between the cill and the frame rather than a screwdriver, usually a 1mm plastic wedge fits perfectly and lets you get right to the back of the gap and with no risk of scratching anything. Pipe cleaners can also be handy to push down the weep vents to help dislodge anything and doing it when dry tends to work better but with the current weather you could be waiting a very long time for that 🤣 (Good to see you back posting videos!)

Great video as always

[@ultimatehandyman]

Thanks for the comment 👍

[@xlfive]

hope fully the sun shines today ,I've seen people seal the gap for the drain and pointed out why they should not do this

[@paulhammond7489]

I've seen that done, caused a right mess...

[@ScrappyPower]

I have the same problem except the seal itself is thinning away. Need to get a replacement

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yeah, it’s a good idea to replace the seals, once they get worn!
Thanks for the comment 👍

Did you evict the slug climbing up the side at 2:28

[@ultimatehandyman]

Yeah, it got launched into the garden 👍

[@illtudjames]

It that a derelict house or does the owner not like cleaning? Inside and outside are filthy!

[@ultimatehandyman]

A tree fell onto the conservatory! The tree can be seen in this video-

Obviously, we are more concerned about the demolished garage and the holes in the conservatory roof, than cleaning it 😉

Judging from the dried grass on the walls, they don't care enough.
