Hi,
I have a wooden window frame that is in need of repair at the corner just above the point where it meets the stone sill. It looks as though the wood has swollen through water ingress forcing the surfaces either side of the corner to become raised. I have pasted a picture of the frame below, to enlarge the picture just click the image:
Can the swollen and presumably rotten wood be replaced with a section of new wood or are there any other options for repair? Finally, is it a job for a carpenter rather than a novice at DIY?
