The sealing was broken away from the upvc so have removed it and I'm now preparing to reseal.

The gap on one side and top of the frame is around 1/2". The lintel is directly above the frame.

I'm considering getting a length of dressed timber to insert into the gap above then sealing around the timber. A wise move or should I pack the gap entirely with silicone?

Expanding foam in the gap, 40mm foam filled pvc trim slid into the gap, cap off with a smaller head of silicone, sides, depends on the gap but foam and pvc quadrant and seal
