Contractor has not surveyed site but has suggested PU injection. Quoted over RM 1k. Area is just 3 aluminium windows in single frame.
Is that rate normal? Any other recommendations? Is DIY possible or advisable in this instance?

Suspect my windows or area surrounding is leaking. During rain, water seems to flow out from under the paint/cracks surrounding the window. Pretty severe during heavy rain, actually can form a pool on the floor on some occasions.

Main query atm, is the rate of RM 1k + for PU injection for just these 3 connected windows normal? As for pu, it cost me rm500 6 years ago for a leaking wall. BTW mine is a landed property. |

Big area window? Is ur hand able to reach the outside face of the window lowest part?
If can then DIY n test first, get some clear silicone glue, apply it on the whole stretch of the window, where ever u feel water can seep in. Apply few times, sacrifies ur finger n press the glue into every mini tiny hole/gap u feel there is. Mine same situation, heavy rain, water flow from the crack paint. After I DIY, so far 3 years no issue (touchwood) |
