Window Junction with Sill

    Buying a new build

    Snag identified that the window sill was probably put in wrong.
    Slightly too far out.

    This means that there is no rebate for a drip at the bottom of the window frame.

    ie The "upstand" of the stone sill is out flush with the window.

    This junction has been sealed with silicone. Looks to do done well.

    Included in snag list but builder has indicated they will be doing nothing, essentially "It'll be grand"

    Your thoughts?

    Other houses in estate have a drip here (some do not).
    Would there be windows put in like this on purpose as a detail?

    Is the window resting on the upstand? If not I would be worried about the window dropping over time, cracking the internal and external plaster.

    Poor workmanship from the blocklayer and window fitter.
