Repair of a pillar dividing 2 sash windows

The base of the pillar dividing these two late Victorian windows was rotten but the windows and their frames were in good condition. The rotten wood was removed; a new base was created and fixed using a special resin; one coat of preservative and two coats of primer were then applied. With regular painting, this repair should last for many years.
