Hello,
I've bought a 1930s house with painted oak window frames and steel Crittal windows. We are replacing all the casements, which have mostly corroded away, with new powder coated Crittal windows.
Some of the oak sills are rotten, some are are soft on the surface but solid a few millimetres below the surface. Whilst we inted to cut out and replace two of the sills, we are keen to retain as much of the original timber as possible, and have been told by a local joiner that the existing rot can be romoved and the wood treated with a hardener, filled with a two part filler and sanded/repainted, before the new casements are installed.
Can anyone recommend good quality hardener and wood filling system that will do the job?
Thanks.
