Is it worth to re-render the patch in the case there is a leak through new and old render??

I would check the tray first. Otherwise the render would have to come back off to fit a new tray.

Not all lintels will be installed with a cavity tray. It depends very much on when the property was built and what the requirements were at the time. The two comments I would make based on the images posted -

• A bell drip over the top of the window will help to deflect some of the water running down the wall.
• There is a gap between the stone cill and wall - This would benefit from some sealant applied to the gap.
• Check the other windows, particularly upstairs to see if there are similar gaps.

Finally, I can't count

The roof and the windows upstairs are carefully checked. No problems there. What puzzles me that the walls and ceilings in the kitchen are dry with no wet patches. The water just drips from inside, from above where the window meets the wall. I was wondering should I install windows flashing from above the windows. The drip bell above the window will for sure be a great addition. I am not sure if only the drip bell would be enough? What would be the best option further, to install flashing above the window or cavity tray? Anyway, on Tuesday, the handyman is coming to seal the whole window from outside and to fill the gaps around. I will start with the basics.
