hello all,

yesterday (last night) i tool the trim off (quadrant) that i put up as i want happy with the fit a while back - i also previously put an extra screw in it (with a plug) this got hold much better than what there fitter used!!

and there doesnt seem to be much movement at all - im expecting a tiny bit of cracking but nothing like it was - left the quadrant off painted up

no room for expanding foam and so far so good! so purhaps worrying over nothing! thanks all!! 🙂

Put a packer behind the frame and screw it back solid to it using at least 100mm x 5mm screws (depending on the thickness of the frame).
There should be at least 4 screws on the verticals and another 2 on the lintol. Fill any gaps with foam.
