I quite agree there, especially as the cill on a timber window
usually forms and integral part of the frame.

I reckon you could do it but you have to remove the sides from the
cill some how which would probably mean removing the entire cill and
you'd have to make good the ends of the cill from the jointing
somehow. Though that would be coverd by the new uPVC frame sitting on
top. A lot of work.

I've tried using filler between plaster and frame but ulitmately
ended fitting small section, plastic architrave to hide the joint.

What was the problem? I hate stuck on trim bits.

MBQ,

Only a bodge if done in an amateurish or slapdash way - and on most
window/door replacements, it's the only way to prevent the expense of
redecoration.

But as in all things on maintenance works, it's the situation and client
reactions that call the shots, irrespective of what you would like to do -
what you do in your own property though is quite a different matter
(especially when SHMBO is breathing down your neck!) ;-)
