Sill replacement and lower box assembly
Sill replacement or Resin repairs are one of the most common problems on wooden windows. External sills, in particular, bear the brunt of the British weather – and when wood becomes exposed due to cracked or flaking paintwork, rainwater is easily absorbed and that’s when rot can set in.
How we do it
- We firstly completely remove the sill and the bottom of the box to around 300mm up the frame.
- We replace everything we remove with new timber so all joints are new, sturdy and solid.
- We install a new sill made from Sapele hardwood, profiling it to match the existing style of your original.
Benefits
By replacing the lower box frame as well as the sill, we retain the strength and structural integrity of the entire sash box. Removing the bottom of the box also ensures that any rot in the outer cheeks is also removed.
"We found Alan to be a very genuine, reliable craftsman who really cared about the quality of the end result. To top it off he's a really nice guy as well. He restored two sash windows for us after a previous repair by another company had failed. He clearly understands sash windows"
