Hello! I had some new windows fitted recently and noticed that on one frame, one of the screws fixing the frame to the wall is spinning and won't tighten. Is there an easy way to refix it to the brick work without removing the frame or drilling a new hole?

It feels like it's fine as it's only one loose screw out of the ones I can see, not like the frame will fall out - but just thought I'd check and see if there is an easy solution!

Remove the screw and push in a thin splint of timber than fits without forcing it but not slack, you can add a touch of glue if you wish, and then redrive the screw slowly until tight.
