I'd spend a bit of time getting it smooth, and making sure it slopes
away. Puddles on sills are bad news.




Would putting a layer of the Sandex filler over the whole sill be a
good idea, ensuring that it sloped forward?

Yes, a good idea. Ideally there should also be a drip groove on the
underside.
Not familiar with the Sandtex product, but I have skimmed sills with
Polyfilla exterior filler. Not really the weather for it at the moment!



There is a drip groove underneath. Hoping for some dry weather next
weekend and will do a skim.
