How can water be getting in? I have examined the state of the newly
applied sealant and it all looks good and continuous. There is a
generous drip overhang on the outside sill. Under the sill and all round
the frame is rendered and painted - no obvious gaps.


Is this a window which sits flush with the outside wall? If so, it should
have flexible sealer between the window and walls on the outside.

I DIY fitted a Screwfix UPVC window which is flush to the outside wall.
and used the normal foam filler. I wanted to tidy up the brick edges with
mortar and used a temporary wood strip to provide clearance from the
frame. After removing the wood strip sealed between the window and the
wall with the proper sealer. Same top and bottom, although no mortar
needed there.
