Hi all,

 

New member here! I was wondering if anyone could please offer some advice for some potential solutions:

we are having issues with rain water coming down onto the wooden windows, sills and the door and rotting the wood. Could anyone suggest what could be done about this? I think guttering around the roof would be a solution, I don't really want to add a canopy to the door as I don't think this would look great.

Please see the images attached!

 

Thanks

Hello, welcome to the forum.

 

Are your windows oak or other hardwood?

 

Lovely structure by the way. Do you mean something like this?

It's certainly worth considering as an option, one question being whether you have sufficient roof tile overhang?

 

Alternatively, you could look at adding a matching timber profile sill to the top of the windows and doors that protrudes just beyond the masonry to deflect water and rain away from the top of the window?
