We have old sash windows that we plan to replace with double glazed over the next year to two. However one on them is in quite bad shape and a recent gutter issue meant a fair amount of water got into the wood and it started to leak inside. Is there anything I can do to sure it up over winter and keep it watertight?
Edit - thought I’d posted this in DIY, maybe better there.
Find the gaps, plug with linseed oil putty (it's the stuff that's used to keep the panes in the frames - it needs to be painted with an oil based paint or primer when dry. Takes a few days to dry out.)
