The awkward part of these repairs is getting access behind the brickwork so some creative use of hand tools and the odd jig and fixture help get perfectly square and true surfaces to enable a repair that will last.

For the replacement planks, we used Accoya wood for its rot resistance. With the planks cut and jointed in, we then re-established the pocket so the window can continue to be serviced in the future. Finally, we applied some coats of a good quality primer to help the decorator, and re-pointed between the stiles and brickwork to close the job up.
