If you do your own work on this kind of thing and plan on doing it for a while the Dryflex kit is worthwhile over a few repairs. The dry flex also keeps well in the tube so you can use it for a number of small jobs and over a period of time.
It's a no brainer for me to have the kit and I use it all summer long on rotten window cills and doors, it still seems expensive but it's so much easier and quicker to get good results.
I used 2 tubes on a 3 day job recently (listed property and the rear doors were in very bad shape). It cost me £57 per tube because I wanted it in a hurry. My normal supplier is Sealants Online, they have the trial pack for £132.
Timbabuild starter kit is around the same money but the tubes are cheaper individually. I have both systems but the Dryflex is better for all the things, I use Timbabuild in some situations but I wouldn't recommend it alone.
You might get away with using Dryflex SF which is the surface finisher that only needs a heavy duty contractors gun to work with. It seems to be the same stuff as Dryflex when I've used it.

Thanks! I think I used the epoxy wood filler when I painted it a couple of years ago and it’s clearly cracked. If frame sealant is only going to last a couple of years maybe it would be worth me shelling out for the repair care after all.
