Does a DPC need to go in somewhere? I believe
you usually fit a cavity tray kind of thing that is tucked into the
top of my thermal blocks but this is custom and I won't find the
right size. I can put 1200 DPC in somewhere - upturned against the
blocks?

This is the bit I'm most interested in opinions on...

Affix a DPC in an L shape against the thermalite before you do anything
else, any water that goes behind whatever cill you decide to add will run
under the sill and away, provided you leave drain holes, TBH it's not
imperative as the joint between window frame and cill will surely be sealed
with plastic / silicone / beading / whatever.....unless you are thinking
about damp 'penetrating' the concrete and into the thermalite?
