Window sills.....

[JRG]

I have a leak due to a fault with a window sill. Previous owners have painted the underside of the sill and a number of layers of paint are peeling away from the underside of the sill, starting from the internal edge adjacent to the elevation.

There is no drip detail to the sill (very old), should I just seal the join between the underside of the sill and elevation with some sealant....? Any recommendations

Hi

would suggest you fit a drip mould or try and cut a channel into the existing cill,otherwise the rain will still run back towards the building(capillary action)

Good Luck
