This bay window style has extensive rot to the cill area, which extends up into the bottom rails of the sashes. The problem is compounded by the fact that the sashes involved are fixed and contain original leaded glass.

Process of Restoration

  • Paintwork is stripped back as necessary.
  • Damage is assessed and rotting and damaged wood is removed.
  • Replacement timber components are made to match existing.
  • After dry sanding, new timber is fitted using splicing or epoxy resin.
  • All new timber and exposed existing timber is treated with wood preservative.
  • Areas of repair are finally primed and putty pointing repairs are made.
