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. |
