Default Double Glazing frame loose



Hi all

I decided to re silicone the inside of my double glazed window as i
could feel a draught.

I have just noticed that the top of the frame (silicone needs
replacing) pushes outwards by 3-4 mm when i push on it.

This is enough for me to hear the traffic clearer and for a draught to
occur.

I cannot see any fixing screws around the framework and wonder how the
frame is fixed to the brickwork as i need to secure the top.

When i open the window and look into the frame around it, i only see
screws that secure the slides etc. Will these go through to the brick
work?.

Seems a thick one but i honestly never had any need to know until now.

Thanks

Andy
