I'm no expert or even sure of this but if they are replacing the
woodwork that has rotted and fixing the problem causing it why treat
the new wood ? Or will any remaing traces of rot spread to the new
wood.

I'll do it all baring the plastering for a fiver. ;-)

Strictly speaking it shouldn't be necessary because the conditions for
dry rot to establish and grow will have been removed - i.e. a moisture
source of the correct amount of moisture and lack of ventilation.

However, the common practice is to sterilise all surfaces and
materials with a suitable solution.

A litre of Cuprinol Dry Rot Killer is about £7, so in the context of
the cost of the job and what an outbreak can cost, it's pretty much a
no-brainer to use it on the new wood.

BTW. You're selling yourself too cheaply.... :-)
