    I have just had new windows fitted, all windows apart from one have a gap at the bottom which i'm told by a friend is a drainage path, will the one that is covered up cause any issues? I have attached two photos one with gap and the other is the window where the gap is covered up. IMG_4118.JPG IMG_4119.JPG

    Yes, it may cause problems. Ask why that one has been filled. That part should never be filled.

    And in a short while that trim will be preventing the window from closing properly.
