Hello,
I had new windows fitted a couple of months ago. The old windows had some odd shaped trims on them so where the new windows have been fitted, there is a gap at the edge of the reveal. The window fitter filled these gaps with filler, but it has started to crack. I have raked it out and it would appear it probably cracked as theres nothing behind it to grab to. What would be the best method to fill these gaps and prevent future cracking? Would it be expanding foam and then filler on top? I was intending to use painters mate for the long thin gap down the side of the frame (existing silcone raked out).
Thanks & merry christmas!
