Plastering under window sill

Question

Hi. Could I ask please. Our house was re plastered. New interior window sills (plastic) were fitted. I’m wondering if the plaster should go right up to the sill. Not only are there draughts the plaster doesn’t finish properly (in a straight line) but you can also see bare brick. I’m not sure if I’m just being picky or whether this is shoddy work.

Hi Clare yeah plaster should go right up to the sill should have no drafts or see any brick work

Russell · Answer

Hi

unfortunately, this dose not sound good and no brickwork should be showing. Contact the plasterer and ask them back to have a look and rectifie the issue.

Hope this helps

With out seeing a picture it’s hard to say but no there should be draft and no should be brick work showing and yes the plaster should finish flush and neat to the window sill so sounds like really bad work to be honest

I hope the answers help.

Before the plastic window sill is installed, the plaster underneath should be finished to a skim bead Fixed to the bottom reveal, this with stop any plaster from flaking. When the sill is fit the bottom reveal a thin bead of silicon or sealant should be applied to the under side of the sill to fill the small gap were it meets the plaster.

Sounds like a bit of a bad job to me all plaster should look straight and fresh no holes

Tim · Answer

Hello Clare, there should be no brick work showing as the plaster should come right up to the window sill. You need to ask the plasterer to come back and rectify this issue.

Hope this helps.

Raymond · Answer

Plastering should be finished tight under sill with no gaps or bricks showing. There should certainly be no draughts.
Sounds like job was not finished properly !!
