FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How do you repair rotten timber in windows?

We begin by carefully removing all decayed wood back to sound timber. Depending on the extent of the damage, we either consolidate the area with epoxy resin or splice in new hardwood matched to the original species. The repair is then shaped to the original profile, primed, and painted for a seamless, long-lasting finish.

Can rotten window sills be repaired or do they need replacing?

In many cases, rotten window sills can be repaired rather than fully replaced. If the rot is localised, we use epoxy consolidation or splice in new hardwood to the affected section. For more extensive damage, we replace the entire sill with carefully matched timber. Either way, the result is a sill that looks and performs like the original.

What types of timber do you use for repairs?

We use high-quality hardwood for all timber replacements, matched to the original species wherever possible. Common species include sapele, meranti, and European oak. We also use specialist epoxy resin systems to consolidate and rebuild partially damaged sections.

How long do timber repairs last?

When properly executed and maintained, our timber repairs last for decades. We use quality hardwood, thorough preparation, and protective paint systems to ensure maximum longevity. We also recommend our maintenance programme for regular inspections and preventative care.
