One of the timber windows has rotted away about 5 cubic cm in one corner.
I've used bog and it worked OK. Don't use too much hardener when mixing otherwise it'll dry up on ya too quick.
I've also removed a window sill and substituted some skirting board as a new sill. Painted it up and you can hardly tell the diff lol.
Thanks Datto. Do architraves need flashing or you just put them on? Skirting boards a great idea.
Looks like a complete sill replacement - cheaper to pull out the window and replace the lot - like for like ( or upgrade to Windows 8).
Ok Rolf, very lame on my part. It's early on a Sunday morning and I'm already at the pool. (BTW I preferred xp but it doesn't comply with the BCA).

A sill has a specific profile and is usually made of hardwood. it has a drip groove underneath to stop water getting in underneath. I wouldn't suggest using anything thinner.
The black thing under the sill is the alcor flashing which directs water away from inside the building, it has a turn up at the back edge which stops blow back (as opposed to a turnip).
It doesn't matter what you use for the profile of the architraves provided that you use an appropriate external timber which has been primed prior to installation and painted on completion.
