Repair the rot. Keep the window.

Repair Care Approved Contractor

When a timber window, door or fascia goes soft, the usual advice is to replace the whole unit. Often that is not necessary. Rot tends to be local — the bottom of a sash, the end of a cill, the corner of a frame where water has been sitting for years — while the rest of the timber is perfectly sound.

Timber resin repair cuts out only the decayed section and rebuilds it in place with a two-part epoxy repair system. Once cured it is harder than the original wood, moves with the timber instead of cracking away from it, and can be sanded, moulded and painted so the repair disappears. We are a Repair Care Approved Contractor, which means we are trained in and work to their specified system.

Why repair rather than replace?

Typically a fraction of the cost of a replacement window
Keeps original joinery, which matters on period and listed property
No plaster damage, no new sills, no redecorating the whole room
Done in days rather than waiting weeks for made-to-measure units
Far less waste than tearing out sound timber
Repaired sections are treated against future decay

How the repair is done

We cut back to sound timber, treat the surrounding wood with a preservative to kill off anything still active, and drill and fit consolidation rods where a section needs structural support. The repair filler is then built up slightly proud, left to cure, and shaped back to the original profile — including mouldings and drip grooves. After that it is primed and painted as part of the normal decorating.

What we repair

Sash and casement windows, cills and sub-cills, door frames and thresholds, front and back doors, fascias, bargeboards and soffits, porch posts, gate posts and exterior joinery generally. If you are not sure whether something is repairable, send a photo over WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly — sometimes a unit really is past saving, and we would rather say so than take money for a repair that will not last.
