Could be Nuctenea umbratica with those darkly banded legs and dark body which looks like it might have the wavy pattern along the edge of the abdomen. Spiders in and around Torphins Wood, Scotland

While I'm not completely discounting N. umbratica, I don't normally see these in daylight, so I'm still inclined to think it's something else.

I saw a male Nuctenea umbratica in September on my south wall, I usually see a female in the greenhouse and that is in the day time. The strongly banded legs are typical. I'm not sure if you would expect to see them now but the mild weather has brought some insects out.
Neriene montana is one you are likely to see inside at this time of year but the shape doesn't look right for that.

The spider disappeared while I was away. Sticky patches have appeared on the window - I don't know if the two are connected. Sorry I wasn't able to take a better photo. Thanks for your time. Cheers. | | | |
