How to seal gap between top of window and sill?

[THRAWN]

Hi team,

This is a new build house. I have a small gap between the top of my window frame and sill that it seems crickets (bugs) like to reside in. What is the best way to seal this? I dont know how the crickets get in there as there does not seem to be a entry on the outside. Any suggestions.

Hi @THRAWN,

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

I recommend cleaning the area first with water and detergent. Remove all the moss and mould on the sill then dry the area very well with a clean rag. To remove any remaining moisture between the gap, I suggest using your hairdryer to totally dry off the area. Once the gap is clean and dry, I suggest using Selleys 430g White No More Gaps Exterior Gap Filler to fill the gap.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: Selleys No More Gaps
