My front door faces directly into the prevailing wind. When it rains rain seeps in at the bottom of the door and soaks the carpet. Can someone give me a tip on products I can use to prevent this/

A weather bar is a strip plastic or metal flat bar rebated into the sill. The bottom of the door then have a rebate section cut to allow the door to shut plus a threshold on the front of the bottom of the door will guide the rain away from the weather bar.

Although you can now fit a threshold kit like this

Our door is hard wood.We have a weather bar but not the Threshold. The weather bar itself is not enough towithold the rain but it seems the Threshold in conjunction with this may do the trick. Do you think B&Q will have these and will they also call them Threshods?

Yes they will have them and most diy superstores or timber merchant. Shop around as they do a wide one as well. Some are universal for narrow or wide threshold
