The evolution of the sills |
The original Barbican plans specified sills with a notch in the bottom (1), but the sills were installed with no notch (2), so moisture could (and did) get under the sill and into properties causing (e.g.) carpets to rot.
At some point, possibly as part of the work on the roofs, mastic or some such material was injected beneath the sills to plug the gaps (3). This seems to have worked but it's not what the original plans called for and may not work as well as the specified notch.
Are there any plans to review this fix? Was the cost charged to residents and will it now be refunded as part of the roofs refund? I shall ask the BEO.
