Sealant Round Windows

[Jokester]

Jokester just out of interest do you know the construction of your flats, is it timber frame, what plane is that photograph?

Yeah it's timber frame, the photo is the gap between the window frame below the window itself and the wooden window sill.

Like you said, you have sorted the problem. But now check the external for loose and broken silicone lines and fix as described if found. Make sure your keeping the damp away from your cavity and inner brickwork.

We always build to the 'Scottish detail' where the window and cill are fixed to the timber frame then the window slips behind the brickwork. Looks like yours if fixed to the external skin, not a problem, just different, We have to allow 6mm of settlement per floor compound, I'm assuming your no more than 3/4 floors high.

Yeah I'm third floor, the builder said to expect about 3mm per floor. It's a Stewart Milne timber frame job, but thankfully not one of his builds

It's a Stewart Milne timber frame job,

We use SMTF, pretty good, one of the best off site panel manufacture, easy and quick install, if you said Homes Factory I'd run a mile, turn up on site with lorries of timber and build on site

 

[Jokester]

Yeah his timber frame stuff is supposed to be some of the best.
