Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: Wood rot on window frame 4Dec 07, 2018 9:58 am About time I updated this thread seeing as the work was completed some time ago. Windowfixit were fantastic. Punctual, cordial, efficient and did a great job. They cut and scraped out all the rot and replaced it with new hardwood. The hardwood they used was different to the window frame so the varnish has come up a slightly different colour (as they said it would) but as the window is at the back of the house I'm not bothered. And probably the more coats that are put on the closer the colour will get to the original. They also showed me that the rot was not due to our "poor"maintenance. It was in fact due to the fact that the window hadn't been properly sealed in the factory. The trim at the bottom of the window was caked with dirt when it was pulled away.
