I need to replace a rotted hardwood sill on my front door but am struggling to find a supplier. Could anyone please suggest where I could buy a sill that seems to have an unusual profile?
Many thanks.

Try a local joiners shop. They should be able to machine a profile for you

Before replacing the cill you should really consider if the cill can be taken out easily without damaging the existing framework. (Look for screws or filled in screw holes)
If you can then take this to a Wood Joinery/carpentry Co should be able to machine a piece of any design (though this will cost more than standard Cills) |

Don't say 'hardwood', say 'oak'. |
