Timber Window Frame Repair

Timber Window Frame Repair

We repair damaged, split, and structurally weakened timber window frames using professional joinery techniques. Rotten sections are cut back to sound timber, replaced with matching hardwood or softwood, and finished to a weatherproof standard that restores the frame to full structural integrity.

Rotten Window Sill Replacement

Rotten Window Sill Replacement

Window sills are the most exposed part of the window assembly and the most frequently damaged by moisture and weathering. We remove deteriorated sills and install new hardwood or softwood replacements correctly profiled, primed, and sealed to prevent future water ingress.

Sash Window Frame Repair

Sash Window Frame Repair

We carry out structural repairs on sash window frames for period and heritage properties where replacement with modern windows is not appropriate or permitted. Repairs include box frame reinforcement, sash cord replacement, staff bead fitting, and draught sealing.

Window Sill Installation

Window Sill Installation

We install new internal and external window sills in timber, hardwood, and MDF where existing sills are absent, damaged beyond repair, or being upgraded as part of a wider refurbishment. Every sill is correctly profiled, fitted with a drip groove, and sealed to prevent water tracking back to the wall.

Draught Proofing

Draught Proofing

We carry out draught proofing on timber window frames and sash windows using brush pile seals, compression seals, and flexible draught strips. Correctly fitted draught proofing reduces heat loss and eliminates cold air penetration without affecting the operation of opening windows.

Window Board Replacement

Window Board Replacement

Internal window boards sit on the inside of the window reveal and are frequently damaged during renovations or by moisture penetration from failed external seals. We replace internal window boards in MDF, softwood, and hardwood to match existing joinery profiles and finishes.

Why Choose Us for Window Frame & Sill Repair

Window Frame & Sill Repair

Poor window frame repairs fail fast. Filler packed over rotten timber, sills fitted without a drip groove, frames resealed without addressing the moisture source, these are temporary fixes that return the same problem within a season. At EBT Build, we assess the damage properly, use the correct timber, and carry out repairs that hold long term.

Every job is completed by our own joinery team with no subcontractors. We work across Islington, Camden, Hackney, and Haringey on everything from a single rotten sill to full sash window restoration on period properties.

In some refurbishment projects, damaged window areas are repaired alongside nearby stud wall construction adjustments to strengthen internal structures.

  • Structural and moisture assessment on every job before any work is quoted
  • Rotten sections cut back to sound timber, not filled over
  • Hardwood and softwood options matched to existing frame profiles
  • Sills fitted with correct drip groove and weatherproof sealing as standard
  • Draught proofing upgrades available on all timber window types
  • Written itemised quote with no costs added after work starts
  • Fully insured with public and employer liability cover on every project
  • BWF and FMB registered, work carried out to recognised trade standards

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of window frame repair in the UK depends on the extent of the damage, the type of timber, and the number of windows requiring attention. Minor repairs such as resealing a frame or replacing a small section of damaged sill typically cost between £150 and £400 per window. More extensive repairs involving significant timber replacement, sash window restoration, or multiple windows will cost more. Full timber window sill replacement on a standard property typically ranges from £200 to £600 per sill depending on the size, profile, and material specified. EBT Build provides a fully itemised written quote after a free site assessment so you know exactly what you are paying for before any work begins.

Whether a rotten window frame can be repaired depends on the extent and location of the rot. Surface rot confined to a small area of the frame can often be cut back to sound timber and repaired with a matching timber splice or epoxy consolidant system. If rot has penetrated the structural sections of the frame — particularly the joints, corners, and sill — replacement of the affected sections or the full frame may be the more practical and cost effective option. EBT Build carries out a full structural and moisture assessment during the survey and gives an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement is the right approach for each window.

Most timber window frame repairs can be completed within one day per window depending on the extent of the work required. Minor sill replacements and frame section repairs are typically completed within a few hours. More involved repairs such as full sash window frame restoration or multiple window projects will take longer. EBT Build confirms all timelines after the survey so you have a clear schedule before work begins. Where windows need to be left open during repair work, we plan the schedule around weather conditions to avoid leaving openings exposed overnight.

Yes. All external timber repairs carried out by EBT Build are finished with a weatherproof primer as standard before handover. Top coat painting in the colour of your choice can be carried out as part of the same project or left for the homeowner to complete once the primer has cured. External sills and frame sections are sealed at all joints and junctions with a flexible exterior sealant to prevent water tracking into the repair. We advise on the correct paint system for the timber type and exposure level during the survey.

Yes. We carry out sash window frame repairs on period and heritage properties across the UK. Sash window restoration typically involves box frame reinforcement, replacing deteriorated staff beads and parting beads, sash cord replacement, and draught sealing using brush pile or compression seals. Where individual sashes have warped or dropped, we plane and refit them to restore correct operation. We always aim to repair and restore original sash windows rather than recommend replacement, particularly on listed buildings and conservation area properties where retaining original features is important.

Window frame replacement becomes necessary when rot has spread through the structural sections of the frame to the point where there is insufficient sound timber remaining to carry out a lasting repair. This is most common in frames that have been neglected for many years or where previous repairs using filler have masked ongoing moisture damage. Other indicators that replacement is required include frames that have moved significantly out of square, joints that have opened beyond the point of repair, and frames where the fixing into the surrounding masonry has failed. EBT Build assesses every frame individually and will always recommend repair over replacement where it is genuinely the more practical and cost effective option.
