Removing and replacing wood sill

Question

Is it possible to remove an old wooden sill underneath the window and replace it?

Sean · Accepted Answer

It is possible to do this, however it is 100% a job for a professional carpenter and not a DIY job in my opinion

Ben · Answer

Yes absolutely. Remember to use expanding foam in large open areas to prevent breezeway and liquid nails /cork for your finish

Leigh · Answer

Yes it can be done fairly easily but I would recommend using a carpenter

Edmund · Answer

Yes, the window should have its own frame and a lot of window sills are just butted up to the frame…..

Desi · Answer

Yes it is very possible to remove a wooden sill from underneath a window to replace.
Taking care not to damage the plaster and the window when taking the sill out and being carefull not to damage the new sill going in, are your main areas of concern when doing this type of job.  Hope this helps.
