What does wood rot repair cost?
The cost of wood rot repair depends heavily on the extent and depth of the damage, and on whether a local repair is sufficient or part of the frame needs to be replaced.
What determines the price
The extent of the damage, accessibility, the repair system required and whether painting follows afterwards together determine the price.
Why acting early pays off
The sooner wood rot is tackled, the smaller — and therefore cheaper — the repair. Delaying lets the damage spread to healthy wood, resulting in higher costs.
DIY, or better to have it done?
With the right preparation and materials, some parts of the cost of painting can be done yourself, especially for small-scale, easily accessible work. Where it gets trickier — working at height, uncertainty about the condition of the surface, or work that causes more expensive damage if done wrong, such as wood rot or damp problems — it's wise to have a professional painter take a look before you start.
Not sure what's sensible for your situation? During a free, no-obligation assessment we give honest advice: sometimes a touch-up is enough, sometimes a more thorough approach is needed. That advice is free and non-binding, even if you decide to do it yourself.
What affects the cost
Naming a specific figure for the cost of painting is difficult without knowing the situation: the surface area, the condition of the surface, accessibility and the number of coats together determine the price. Poorly maintained work needs more preparation — such as wood repair or extra sanding — and therefore weighs more heavily than the painting itself.
