Default Buying second-hand PVCu french doors

Have you considered getting the individual units replaced? Would the

This is a case where an injection of common-sense on behalf of the BCO
is needed (some have it, some don't). These regs are all about energy
conservation: making the OP put these doors in a skip so he can buy new
ones which will probably deliver a minimal saving would be daft.
