Crack around my window, how to seal it? Fillers, sealants and adhesives for all types of DIY work. Help, advice and information on all aspects of this subject

Basically, as in the title, there's a crack where the window joins to the brick, I'm a student so I'm only living in this house for a year so I don't want a permanent solution, just something I can use for the next 9 months or so and then taken down. I told my landlady but she seems reluctant to do anything about it since she says it's still safe and I really don't want to argue lol

It may well still be safe but it's letting a lot of noise in, and is cooling my bedroom down, I'm on a budget with the gas heating as it is so I want to save all the heat I can.

What sort of thing should I be looking for? I'd assume some sort of tape, but I'm not really clued up on that kind of thing.

Hi mate
Ok looks like a upvc window,You can buy plastic beading to fit round the window. Conservatory/window fitting companies always have some in stock.What you need is some D bead or quadrant bead.You can attach it with TRIM TAPE and seal it with white silicone should cost you lees than £8 or they may have some offcuts for free.
