I live on a busy main road and the constant pounding of heavy traffic has caused the mortar to fall out of my window frames. Can I approach the council or is this an insurance matter?

Can't you mix up bit of sand and cement and fill it in ? Doesn't take long and it's not the most skilled job either, 1 bucket, small pointing trowel, sand, cement ( if it's only small amount you can buy premixed stuff, just add some water ) water and off you go. Shouldn't take more than couple of hours ( including trip to a builder's merchant or DIY shop ) and say £ 15 - 20 in all ( cheap trowel and bucket included, even petrol or diesel for the trip ).0
