Water Getting in Around Windows

[Reno RSS Feed]

Hi All,

We've just had the window sashes replaced in our upper bedroom (they were very old and very rotten) and it's quite obvious from the pictures that water is collecting on the sills after rain. We only had them done a couple weeks back and haven't even got around to putting the finish on the inside yet....

The outside sills are sloped (and need a bit of love) but looks like the main problem is water coming down the sides from the top?

Should there be some flashing above the windows behind the weatherboard on the outside?

Any thoughts / DIY tips or recommendations for a good local tradie?

Cheers

Lewis.
