Window, hardwood and door sills

Sill Replacement

Sills take more weather than any other part of a window or door. When they rot, Paul replaces them in hardwood, shaped to match.

How Paul does it

Window sills: the rotten sill is cut out and a new one fitted, shaped to the original profile so rain runs off.

Hardwood sills: a hardwood sill stands up to weather far better than softwood, and can be painted or finished to suit the house.

Door sills: worn or rotten door sills are replaced and sealed, so the door closes properly and water stays out.

The kind of work

In detail

Rotten window sills cut out and replaced, on sash, casement and bay windows.

New sills made in hardwood, which lasts far longer in the weather.

Front and back door sills replaced and sealed against water.

Shaped to match the original, so the new sill looks right on the house.

Bedded and sealed to the frame and wall so water cannot get behind it.

Small areas of rot repaired with Repair Care resin instead of a full sill.

Can you replace just the sill?

Yes. If the rest of the window or door frame is sound, only the sill is replaced.

Do you do door sills as well?

Yes. Worn or rotten door sills are replaced in hardwood and sealed.
