Would want to find out why it rotted before investing in replacing it. Any idea?
The cill is probably fucked if the vertical bit is too.
You might find that half of it has already been replaced with filler, like our back door!

It's a weird one as, until about 18 months ago there was actually a porch (or so google streetview tells me) so that would have been an inside door. Saying that, bodging a porch on may well have resulted in it being damp and causing the rot.
Also no idea how long it's been there. Before the developers that we bought from had bought the place someone had lived here for 40 years or so and it was an absolute wreck.

I've discovered that my door frame is, in parts, very rotten. Looks like the previous owners just painted over it and it's now fucked. The bubbly parts need replacing up to about a height of a metre or so. Am I able to just chop that out and replace with a new piece? Cheers
