  • Thanks very much! Anything equivalent to lime putty? Just so I can plough on today. Seen this at Screwfix but not sure if it is breathable

  • Looking at the same bit of work.

    Acquiring the right materials in DIY quantity, in good time, seems difficult.

    At least compared to what Screwfix etc will sell you.

    Would be good to know who the DIY supplier of choice is.

    cut it out and fill it with wood filler

    Yes - or splice in a replacement piece.

    If you just want the job done have at it with hardener but don’t tell airhead or Bobbo ;)

  • Yes

    And use that wood hardening stuff first after cutting out

  • Got 2 to do so happy to get a little but not spend £££.
    Got sand paper, Dulux weathershield, primer easy.
    Ordered some wood filler from Amazon, which, though convenient, I don't like doing
    Need to get the lime putty and some hardener so I'll see what Screwfix people say

    On the window topic, the ones at my flat were a big job I didn't fancy so got a professional in and he was ace.

  • Would be good to know who the DIY supplier of choice is.

    For period appropriate materials, I have used:

    Womersleys
    Mike Wye
    Lime Stuff
    Conserv

    Mike Wye & Conserv have really good people that you can phone & talk to for help & advice.
