Epoxy & Timber Repair
Rotten window sills, door frames, decks and structural timber rebuilt with two-part epoxy, so you keep the original wood wherever it can be saved.
Strong, lasting repairs to timber you want to keep
Wet and dry rot break down the structure of timber, leaving it soft, crumbling and unable to hold paint or fixings. Where the damage is localised, replacing the whole piece is often unnecessary, disruptive and costly, especially on original windows, doors and period features.
Epoxy repair works in two stages. A low-viscosity consolidant soaks deep into the weakened fibres and hardens them from within, then an epoxy filler rebuilds the missing profile. Once cured, the repair is stronger than the surrounding wood and can be sanded, shaped, drilled and painted to blend in.
We can carry out repairs and also supply the epoxy systems and guidance you need to tackle the work yourself. Either way, the aim is the same: a sound, long-lasting result that respects the original timber.
Timber we commonly repair

- Door frames, thresholds and external doors
- Decking, fascias, bargeboards and soffits

Why epoxy repair beats ripping it out
For the right kind of damage, a well-made epoxy repair is the sensible, economical choice.
Keeps the original timber
Save original windows, doors and features instead of replacing them wholesale.
Stronger than the wood around it
Cured epoxy bonds into the fibres and resists further moisture and movement.
Sanded and painted to match
Repairs can be shaped and finished so they disappear into the surrounding surface.
Less disruption than replacement
Localised repairs avoid the mess and expense of tearing out and refitting.

Common questions
If the decay is localised and the piece still has sound wood to bond to, epoxy repair is usually viable and often the better option. Where rot has spread through most of the section, or the timber is structurally compromised beyond a sound fixing point, replacement may be the safer choice. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will give you an honest view.
Once cured, epoxy filler can be sanded, shaped and painted like wood, so a well-finished repair blends into the surrounding surface. On painted joinery in particular, a good repair is very hard to spot.
Yes. We supply wood consolidants and epoxy fillers along with practical advice on preparation, mixing and finishing, so a confident DIYer can tackle smaller repairs. For structural or extensive work, it is worth discussing the job with us first.
A repair that is properly prepared, applied to sound timber and kept painted or sealed can last many years. The key is addressing the source of the moisture that caused the rot in the first place, which we are always happy to advise on.
