Good evening dear community,

I had my windows replaced last year when I bought our house. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but since the new windows have been installed, there is a very crooked and tiny recess. (if you can even call it that!)
To illustrate, here are a few pictures....
What exactly can be done in such a case?
Thank you very much in advance.

Have a nice evening

Well, does it bother you that it is like this? You can't do anything about it for now...

What exactly is the problem now? Since something is wrong = visual defect? Possibly have it redone by a painter/plasterer? You are now missing reveal depth = no more windowsill possible or what is the problem? There are only a few factors that lead to this effect, namely the installation plane of the window (which is rarely possible to freely choose sensibly in existing buildings due to structural reasons) and the thickness of the window itself, which has presumably increased compared to the old window

Okay, thanks for your answers.
In such a case, is there really nothing that can be done to get a clean straight window reveal?
Maybe insulate the inside wall side of the window?

So in the photos it looks very good and not crooked either. So I still don't understand exactly what would be disturbing now?

So it is generally already a bit late. Otherwise, if the window itself is not crooked, it is the wall. Doing something about that... well, a lot of effort.
