I have wooen ouble glazing windows, there is a constant draught from them
coming from somewhere. I have replaced all of the winow rubbers but there is
still air coming through somewhere, which I cannot find. It closes pretty
tight, tighter than before. I think maybe the sun has warped it too much to
correct with rubbers.

I've also put a strip of draught rubber alone the far right an left uprights
of the window as my neighbour said the air can creep in there.

Any ideas on what else I can try, its driving me a little cuckoo

Or is it time to mastic it shut lol.

Nope use candle or fag smoke to ID draught pints: double up foam or in
my case, use caulk round frames..

Or, at this time of year, duct or masking tape both for diagnostics and a
temporary fix.

mmmm but some "masking tape" will either not come off or not come off
cleanly when you've left it too long - i.e. come the thaw.....
