Wooden window repair
Not just sash windows. Casements, bay windows and sills in timber can be repaired properly rather than replaced, with rotten sections cut out and new timber spliced in.
Timber windows of all kinds
Rot usually starts in the parts that hold water: sills, bottom rails and the feet of frames and posts. Caught in time, it can be cut out and repaired.
Rotten sills
Rotten sections of sill are cut out and new timber spliced in, shaped to match, then primed and painted.
Casement windows
Frames and opening casements repaired, eased and rehung so they open, close and seal properly.
Bay windows
Corner posts, panelling and sills on bay windows rebuilt in new timber where they’ve rotted.
New windows where needed
If a window is beyond saving, Shaun can make and fit a new one in timber.

Save the window, save the money
A rotten sill or corner doesn’t mean the whole window has to go. Cutting out the damaged timber and splicing in new is a traditional repair that keeps the rest of the window, and usually costs far less than a replacement.
The earlier rot is dealt with, the smaller the repair. If paint is flaking, timber feels soft or joints are opening up, it’s worth getting it looked at.
