Wooden windows repair in Ickleton

This wooden windows repair project in Ickleto, Cambridgeshire in 2013 is the perfect example of the huge transformation that can take place when woodwork is correctly repaired and spray painted.

The house had wooden windows that were painted many times, was hiding many areas of rot and looked unsightly.

Wooden window repair process

We advised our client that this job would need substantial window frame repair work including many new window sills, the removal of rotten sections and refilling with Accoya and Tricoya wood and resinous fillers.

The addition of a wood hardener ensured that the remaining wood would last much longer.

Once our new wood was tied into the existing window frame, we sanded everything smooth. This ensured the paint would be applied evenly and everything would match. At the request of the customer, we removed the old green paint and sprayed everything with exterior white paint that would protect the window frames for many years to come.

This involved protecting the surrounding windows and house exterior with masking paper and film and the application of two coats of premium quality professional paint.

Window rot

As you can see from the photos of the windows, the windows were extremely rotten, particularly where rain had pooled over the years. We removed all of the rotting wood from the window frame and replaced it with new, stable wood.

We did, however, keep as much of the old window frame as possible. If the wood was healthy, we kept it to ensure the styling of the window and the home was unaffected by our repair.
