This side light of this 1960s front door was more exposed to the elements than the doors itself.
As a result, the sill they shared and parts of the frame were rotten and needed repair.
Once the side light was de glazed, it was possible to see the full extent of the rot, which was quite severe.
One of the more challenging aspects of a job like this is finding ways to clamp the joinery together while the glue sets. It took a bit of creativity but we managed a very successful repair in Accoya with a new hardwood sill.
