Fitted about 5 years ago by " friend" but now leaking. Think it's only a question of adjustment but which is the best company to approach?Getting my mate back is not an option - promises have been made, but I've run out of patience
What is leaking? Frame, fittings, glazing unit?
There really isn't that much to them.
More info needed. Leaking what from where?
As above, they're pretty simple to put together - where's the leak?
Windows are top and turn. Leak is on the non opening side primarily. Window doesn't sit flush with fram and water is blowing in through the gap....
uh-huh. Is the seal around the outside of the light intact? If not get more from here:

Are fittings installed correctly, running right? If they are misaligned you can re adjust them.
Is the frame bowed? Put a straight edge against it.
Is the seal around the frame to the wall intact and OK?
Most likely issue if all of this is OK, is the glazing unit in the light has shifted. Pop the beads out with a pallet knife, inside the glazing unit will be supported by some plastic packers (hopefully), add more/shift them about until it is sitting straight again.
Cheers, it's as if the frame is bowing outwards, so if I place my hand on the frame and lean against it the gap closes..... There is also a slight gap on the handle side

any online guides for fixing this sort of problem?
Ah OK. Thats more of a problem. I'd suggest you get a local window firm in if you 'mate' won't come back to sort it. Most national firms are only interested in installs.
