Thank you. The tip at the end about the mistake in sealing the gap at the bottom of the window was most helpful, because this is exactly what my builder was going to do; of course, I stopped him. The gap is there on all my windows; the damp is only there below one window; so, the gap is obviously not the source of the problem. We did find another problem with the relevant window, which the builder fixed; now hoping that the area below stays dry this winter. Thanks.
@@Vijay-we4iw you’re welcome, really glad it was useful 👍🏻It’s a good few years since I did this work and it has remained bone dry (and a lot warmer) since
I have similar issue in my bay window at living room, I thought my problem was due to bridging on the outside over damp course/brick , good tip about the sealing , I actually closed the gap myself as there was some loose sealant there from before which I thought came off and need to be refitted. thanks
Very interesting video. We have a similar damp wall problem beneath our first floor bay window. The window fitters didn't put any sealant on the outside wall between the upvc window cill and the brickwork underneath it to fill the mumerous gaps yet they did on the ground floor bay window. Odd.
Thank you David. Do you think you’ve resolved all the issues now? It’s been quite a while since my investigations and remedial work now and I’m convinced it was because they were sealed on the outside.
Thank you, I appreciate it. However, I am strictly an amateur with a very limited budget! But a few years later and it is still dry with no sign of damp, so I guess it resolved the problem 👍🏻
