Hi,

I had this done (expanding foam), back in Febuary. Immediatly after there was immence condensation inside my windows leaving 'pools' of water on the ledge to wipe off.

Then summer came . . all ok, but I do have some old wet rot to wipe away fomr the door frame and windows.

Just has 3 - 4 chilly nights, I've not used my heating, but all the upstairs winows were wet.

Im worried sick about this. Have they done a bodge job? Can it be un-done?

Sounds like you need to get the air circulating, open up any vents in the windows (usually hidden away at the top) or you will get condensation because the house is holding heat better. You probably had windows open more in the summer.
