Detached Window Frame

[SHL]

Bottom of window frame has detached from the wall. The rest of the frame is still fixed and secure. Is it possible to DIY this or should I get a professional?

clean it out and fill with paintable silicone

The second pic is when force/pressure is applied like opening/closing the window or cleaning the glass. Would filling with silicone be enough to prevent it from loosening further?

Get someone who knows what they're doing to fix it. You can fill it all you want but it's just going to come loose again unless it's fixed properly. I know this from past experience.

Is that the window sill or is it actually the brickwork? We have wooden window sills at our place and one has also done this. Just needs to be filled and painted over

It's brickwork.

Poly filla

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Take a scraper or something and open/clean everything at the bottom to get enough space. All those cracks, open and clear as much space as possible the whole length at bottom. Make sure you get all the dust out too, maybe vacuum.
Do not use cement or Polyfilla, it will be too little and will just crack and go lose.
Now fill that space either with real silicon or something like NoMorenails or Sticks like etc. Make sure you fill it good and also secure the frame so that it holds in the position it's supposed to be in till it dries.
You can either use your finger to wipe a bit of the silicon or No more nails away when its still wet. or wait till it is dry and cut a bit away with a knife.
Then just fill that top layer with Acrylic sealant and paint over it. Yes there is no such thing as paintable silicon. Its called Acrylic sealant or paintable Acrylic.
