hi
i need to replace a window sill on a box sash style window as the existing one is rotten, i have two concerns really,
firstly how to get the existing one out with as little damage to it's surroundings as possible,
is the 'box section' which sits on top of the sill generally fixed to it? how to best detach it ? is it generally possible to pull the old sill out from the window opening into the room to remove it?
secondly, if the bottom of the box frame uprights have also been affected with rot is it practical to cut out a section from the bottom and fit in a new piece?
any advice would be gratefully received
thankyou
