Expert Wooden Window and Door Repair & Refurbishment on the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight has a wonderful heritage of traditional timber windows and doors, many of which deserve careful preservation rather than replacement.
We specialise in repairing and restoring wooden windows and doors across the Island, always aiming to retain as much of the original wood as possible.
We frequently encounter wet rot and dry rot in period properties, particularly where damp has penetrated over many years. In severe cases the damage may require a complete section to be remade, yet we always begin by assessing whether the existing timber can be saved.
Our careful restoration process includes the following steps:
Strip all old paint layers back to bare wood
This reveals the true extent of any rot or decay that hidden paint might conceal.
Treat and repair affected areas
Apply high-quality wood rot hardener to stabilise softened timber.
Use premium epoxy or resin-based fillers for smaller repairs.
Cut out and replace any timber beyond economical repair with seasoned hardwood matched to the original.
Prepare for long-lasting protection
Once repairs are complete, we sand the surface smooth before applying a professional paint system.
Apply a robust, weather-resistant finish
Two full coats of high-quality primer and undercoat, then Two coats of premium oil-based Weathershield (or equivalent) exterior paint.
This thorough approach ensures your timber windows and doors withstand the Island’s often harsh coastal weather for many years to come.
Whether you have sash windows in need of draught-proofing in Cowes, casement windows suffering from wet rot in Shanklin, or period front doors requiring sensitive refurbishment in Newport, we take pride in returning original features to their former glory whilst improving durability.
