window sill

Hello, I'm in the middle of repainting our sandstone window sills on our 1910 house, and looking for some advice on what to do about the currently unpainted undersides of the ground floor sills - they are slightly eroded all the way along, plus one end is particularly damaged (see photos). I'm...

Water is getting into our conservatory and has ruined part of our windowsill. The water pools in one corner. Somebody advised me to apply CT1 to seal the gap between our conservatory windows and the sill on the outside to stop the leak. It didn’t work, and now somebody else has said that I...

I have very deep window sills in the bathroom, (450mm deep) and I want to put LVT golden oak on them. The walls and reveals are painted, and there is no bullnose or overhang at all. So it's just the depth of the lvt on the front flush edge that will need disguising. Unless I cut a 25mm strip and...

Is it possible to replace a 135° angle joint/connector on a uPVC window sill without taking the whole frame out? Or do I just buy a connector, cut out the inside, glue to the top of the sill and hope it lasts?

I have recently bought a house and looking at the pictures I've noticed one of the uPVC window boards was cracked (see attached). Can I just pull off (carefully) the window board and replace with a new one? It feels like it is just a cap stuck on to something else. I've read you need to do this...

We removed the tiles from our window sill and ended up exposing the open cavity. (1959 Bungalow) What would be the correct method to close the cavity and replace the tiles with a wooden window sill? I dont think a cavity closer goes smaller enough to fit in to the void. I was going to: 1...

Hi all, I'm new here and would appreciate any advice.. I have a bay window (this style might be termed bow window). I recently found it had been leaking for some time and completely rotted the plywood underneath the plastic interior sill (no idea how long it had been going on for!). I removed...

Hey all! Looking for some advise, I’m Renovating a small late Victorian terraced house in south London, I fondly call it “humbly built” but the reality is that these were cheap houses quickly thrown up! anyway the living room window sill is in need of some attention. There was a layer of...

Hi there First post here :) I have an external concrete window sill that needs repair. As you can see in the photos, the render has fallen away from the vertical. What's the best way to repair this? Should I just use a standard mix of mortar and pva or is there a better way to do this...

I've realised that the paint on one of my exterior windowsills is flaky and loose. Some of it has already come away, and I'm planing to scrape the rest off to repaint. The window has obviously been sealed when it was put in, but the sealant is on top of the paint, so where the paint has flaked...

Hello. The window sill above my bedroom window (town house) has a window sill that is the same dimensions as my bedroom window sill and therefore, when it rains, the rain collects and falls from the drip channel directly on to the bedroom upvc window sill, making a loud dripping noise when it...
