Plastering under window sill

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.

"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"

"Hi Clare.
As the previous answer. It should be left with a flush finish and no brick work showing.
I hope the answers help.

Stevie"
