Thank you so much for the great response. It's obviously a stressful problem so I'm so appreciative of the help. I'll remove the trim and re-silicone. I didnt notice any chill drains so I'll check for them too and report back

Update.... after filling the cavity under the frame with foam the water bow only comes in the corner one side. Hopefully you can see the picture but it's on the inside of the brick an inch away from the window frame. Any further thoughts guys?

25 years so no NHBC. No drainage in the actual window but I think the water had blown in from outside maybe? I have used expanding foam in the void and will monitor before fitting another board

Thanks, The tiles are definately Ceramic and they set fine on the old floor and on the rest of the concrete. So all you are suggesting is to switch tile cements? maybe i did add too much water if i remember correctly it was wet but not too sloppy! perhaps ill attempt again with less...

Its is standard sand and cement concrete so pretty simple. The tile cement is rapid set unibond tile cement. The cement on the tiles has gone 'sandy' and damp as if the excess water stopped the chemical reaction, would it be best to use a - non cement adhesive? what do you think, why the...

Guys, I need help! I have a kitchen/utility that I am tiling (floor) I have ceramic tiles and have used tile cement. I tiled the kitchen over the pre existing tiled floor which worked perfectly they were the ancient flat tiles when the house was built decades ago an they were not going...
