[2] As to machining joints in new cills, it occurs that it might be
easier to rout housing joint in cill for stiles before profiling the
cill. If this is true then rather than getting local timber yard to
supply cill ready profiled I'd need to do profiling myself last. So
how to
go about this? Would I manage with circular saw or is more machinery
needed here?

My local timber yard stocked sills damn near exactly right as a
replacement - in both hardwood and whitewood.

I just cut the rebates for the stiles using my sliding compound mitre saw
after setting the depth stop to suit - then cleaned up with a chisel. But
you could as easily do it with a hand saw - I don't think a router is
necessary.
