Hi. I'd really appreciate some advice on where to focus to fix the problem.
I think the photo's speak for themselves I have put some text in 2 photos to explain what work was done in altering apertures (before rennovation work, the smaller window aperture was wider and the larger narrower). Opposite of what they are now.
I don't want to put words in your mouth, as I have already repointed locally the brickwork down the sides of reveals affected (where is was poor or loose) and cut out and put new mastic down the kitchen window frame on the external RHS and it has made zero difference. I was surprised as there was some poor pointing towards the top of the aperture where some new engineering bricks have been inserted under the RHS lintel bearing. And the frame sealant didn't go properly into both top corners before. Alas that work has solved nothing....
The windows have been in place for 14 months and have only just shown this problem now with recent wind and driving rain ( the elevation is south facing).
