"Very tidy work, everything neatly masked off and left broom-clean. The living room has turned out beautifully."
Wood rot and paintwork go hand in hand. In this project a window frame was repaired and then repainted, so it is not only fixed but also protected against new moisture. After all, a repair without a new coat of paint is only half the job, because the repaired wood is then left unprotected.
You often only notice wood rot once it has been going on for a while. Flaking paint and a soft bottom rail are signs to watch out for, as are dark patches around the corner joints. How to spot it in time is explained under recognising wood rot in window frames.
Having the repair and the paintwork done in one go saves time and gives an even result across the whole frame. What the price of such a repair depends on is explained under what wood rot repair costs. Wood rot repair is priced to measure after the free consultation: our painter comes to take a look first.
Where there is one rotten spot, there are often more, including in places that still look sound from the outside. That is why the whole frame is checked, with extra attention to the bottom rail, the corner joints and the connection to the glass, the places where water lingers longest.
Small spots are routed out and filled, while larger sections can be replaced with new timber. That way the original frame is kept and only what is really no longer sound is replaced. That is often cheaper and, in older homes, also better for the character of the building.
After the repair, the frame is sanded, primed and finished with gloss. The sealant joints and the transition between glass and wood are included too, because that is exactly where water gets in first. An annual check of those spots stops the problem from coming back.

"Quick communication, a fixed price up front and the exterior paintwork looks great. Definitely recommended."
"Scheduled within a week and the result is crisper than I had hoped. The window frames look like new."
