Bay window restoration
Carpentry · August 2026
The job
This bay window had been on the house for around 140 years, and the weather had finally got the better of it. The cills and the bottom of the frames had started to rot, the paint had given up, and water was getting in.
The easy answer would have been to rip it out. Instead I cut out the rotten timber, rebuilt the cills, and filled, sanded and painted the lot. It still looks like it belongs on the house, and it’s protected for years yet.
What was done
- Rotten timber cut out and repaired
- Cills rebuilt in new timber
- Frames filled and sanded
- Painted
What the customer said
“My bay window has been saved, from the perils of 140 years of time, weather and neglect, by an experienced tradesman. Someone who turns up to quote and returns to actually do the job. Thanks so much Connor. Would recommend.”
