hi
i have used up last few days of my holiday to sort out the gaps between the upvc windows and wall (internal)
Using a flat screw driver i have tried to make a even space around the frame. However i am not sure on what to use to fill the gap. I would appreciate some advice on this please.
Also in a few of the corners are rather large holes that need filling. What should i use to fill those?
Thanks

You can use some good quality silicone sealant, or you could fill the gap with silicone and then cut some pieces of upvc cloaking profile and then glue these around to cover the gaps, you can glue these using silicone as well.


UPVC cloaking profile can be bought from places that stock UPVC windows, or Wickes sell it for sure and so most of the large DIY stores should also stock it.

I would go for expanding foam to fill 99% percent then finish with plaster/decorating filler.

I will add you need to be carefull as it's powerfull stuff so read the instructions

Many thanks for the advice, i am very greatful.
