In many cases a permanent repair is possible instead of complete replacement. This is achieved using a resin product from repair care international which is much more durable and flexible than normal wood filler. Resin repairs are a very effective way of repairing windows and doors so that you do not need to replace the originals. Many councils and maintenance companies use it now to help prolong decoration life.
All the rotten timber is cut out and the remaining timber will be treated to prevent the rot spreading. We will then use new timber to replicate the rotten timber that has been disposed of and this will be bonded to the existing timber using the resin. The repair will be left to cure and then sanded down and undecorated.
Once the repair has been completed by Traditional Carpentry you will require a decorator to complete the job. Unfortunately this is not a service we provide but we are more than happy to point you in the right direction. Finding a competent decorator is not always that easy and is a very important part of keeping your sash windows not only looking good but also in good condition for years to come.
