We begin with cleaning all surfaces by pressure washing to remove
dirt and algae. It also helps us to discover any hidden rot in the
timber. Greasy areas (e.g. doors) are washed down with Tricleanium
and hot water. |

Our
second step is to sand painted timber surfaces back to bare timber,
where paint is cracked or bubbling. This gives us a sound base to
start our priming, without the threat of future bubbling or substrate
failure. |

This
picture shows, that what looks like minor rot, sometimes turns out
to be a hole too large for a quality repair
(see next image). |

After
drilling and chiseling, all is exposed…
Without thorough investigation, the rot in the stile (the stile being
the vertical piece of timber to which the glass is attached) would
not have been discovered, leaving an expensive repair bill in the
future. |

This
picture shows the same stile without the corner cover. As you can
see, the stile has started to rot, but it can still be treated and
filled.
In this case we simply replace the corner cover. |
