Whist removing plaster earlier i slid the window cill out to get more acces. This loosened the bricks though so a mate is coming to reset them tomorrow.

I also removed the trim around the window as I hope to marmox board around it and then add smaller trim. The window unit it held in by 2 screws into the timber stud each side. Is this normal ? It can move a tiny bit in and out

I can't really see any easy way to stabilise it? I will fill with expanding foam once I have added sow support for the board edges. I guess once the trim in bonded in place it will strengthen the whole unit ?

Oh and I guess the cill will stabilise the bottom?
 
Thanks all! Any recommendations for window trim. White uPVC is fine but can you get any for different profiles?

All the stuff I have seen is flat but I think the window will sit in about 10mm compared to the boarded wall
