I completed some repair work to a porch for a customer the other day. The porch had gone rotten in the usual places and wood worm on on the fascia board also needed attention.
 |
| The corner post had rotted through on the bottom |
 |
| The gutter had been leaking on the corner and had rotted out the end of the fascia board |
 |
| Wood worm on this piece was quite bad and needed splicing |
 |
| I cut the bad wood from the this piece and then sanded back all the fascia so I could treat it all for woodworm before making my reapairs. |
 |
| The bottom of the door frames also needed splicing |
 |
| A new piece spliced in |
 |
| All treated and primed ready for the next coat of paint |
 |
| New corner post and cover strips |
Not a glamorous job but I was pleased with the results and so long as the porch has a proper coat of paint it should last for many years to come.
