    I need something similar but for PVC doors.... I'm fairly sure a plasterer is no good to me.

    I'm pretty sure it is the great big gap at the bottom that I can see through.......but I am not one to question an expert.

    Sword is right about the reveals,that's where most draughts come in.Run a bead of silicone around them,could do the trick.

    PS. Do it now before the weather gets any worse.

    No good for this problem. The reveals are ok, although I need to get a rake of work done on this gaff. Trouble is that every **** in this town is a cowboy.

    Thanks all the help fellas. Maybe this thread could be a regular feature on Not 606, which can be used by anyone who has a DIY query. That would be nice.

    Like Fan and IG have already said, a bit of 2x1 and some compression (bubble) gasket stuck to the 'slave' door will sort it Jip.

    As for your problem Reb, is it a low threshold pvc door? Or do you have to step over the white plastic frame when you go in and out?
