drill wood

use a nail or something through the hole to mark the wall

use a drill with a masonary bit and hammer action to drilla 50mm deep hole in the wall

put a raw plug in the hole

screw through wood into rawplug

if you want more details ask

LF, just to build on what Bloomer said, you may need quite a long screw to accommodate the thickness of the timber and go into a reasonably deep hole in the brick.

Frame Fixings are designed for exactly that job - fixing window frames into brickwork.

OK, so if you already have suitable screws and rawlplugs they'll work perfectly well. However, if I had to go out and buy bits specifically for this job, these are what I would use.

womble speaks wise words

frame fixings are easy to use as you drill the hole then hammer them in easy

i was thinking about what lives in my tool bag...
