Hey. And thankyou all in advance, this forum has helped me time and time agai

So, looking at theese 3 pictures how would i repair?

My plan was to repair the door frame so that i can put a brand new wooden door into it.
Cut out bad wood
Or use wood filler
Or what?

Then paint frame and new door. And new handle with lock




.

Wall

My plan was to use sand cement before using something like tissue to make the texture. Then paint.


Am i right? Probbably not. Your all clever clogs whom i rely on cheers guys!!!

Also.. That deck and gravel is NEW!!!! ALL IN ONE BANK HOLLIDAY WEEKEND.

If you are going to the trouble and expense of renewing the door, I'd certainly replace the frame too......probably keeping the timber sections the same so long as they suit the new door.
As for the wall, is that render or a tyrolean flicker finish?

So i cant just cut into rotten bit use some 3x2 or whtnot and fill it?

And that last bit went over my head haha :)


Thanks!!

By all means it's possible to splice new timber into the rotten section, but naturally enough it depends really on how deep the rot is, and how good you are with the saw and chisels......personally there's no way I'll use filler on outside work because eventually the surrounding timber shrinks away and then the trouble continues.
Tyrolean finish is a cement based wall application that is applied by either a machine or a hand operated flicker gun that allows you to build up a render coat up to around 6mm thickness.....silicone additives give it a waterproof and long lived finish. I must confess I've only ever had one go, and that wasn't on a patch but it was very effective!
My own reasonable attempts have been with a sand / cement render, and then flicking gravel on with a trowel....we call that 'hard cast' up here. The results weren't anything like professional but good enough once painted.
