Hello,
I've been renovating sash windows in my flat for the past few months, all going well so far.
However, in the kitchen, instead of the sash window frame sitting on top of the concrete window cill, this one has the window set into concrete cill by about 4". So whats happening is that water is seeping in between the concrete cill and the bottom of the sash window causing rott. From the inside the arcitraving joints are cracking open at the bottom of the window.
I'm going to remove and replace the acritraving, but any ideas of how to stop the water seeping in in first place?
Thanks
Pete
