I've removed the plaster on the bay-window wall and this has exposed the space under the window board.
Initially I was considering replacing the window board but this is beyond my skill-level and I haven't the cash for a skilled joiner after I pay for the wall to be plastered.
What's the best way to make good the window board? I can sand it back and paint it but I'm less sure on how to deal with the underside?
Presumably it would have been bedded on mortar originally but the original mortar has all crumbled (lime?). I've removed the biggest pieces of mortar and this has left a void. Should I slip in some dpc and then fill with expanding foam?
It looks like the board is attached to some pieces of timber which are jammed into the masonry.
Whats the best way to make good before the wall is plastered?
Cheers
