Re: filling window gaps

Hello @leanne_Err 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about filling the gap near your brick window. 

 

Because the gap is quite large and irregular using an ordinary filler will not work on it. I suggest engaging the services of a professional and having it properly repaired. It also appears that some of the mortar around the window has deteriorated so that will need to be repaired as well. 

 

It's possible that trades person will remove an interior panel inside your home near the window so that they can get access to the back of it. They will probably use mortar to seal the gap next to the window. Once they have sealed the gap, they will follow it up with a silicone seal from the outside.   

 

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Good Morning @leanne_Err 

It does appear to have a largish gap along the edge and also the base has mortar missing. Do you have water damage inside?

I would also suggest to get a professional in to at least recommend the next steps. Are the other windows of you house like this?
