Timber showing signs of decay?

Dry rot is a common fungus that affects both hard and soft timbers and can be very damaging as the fungus spreads. It occurs because of a combination of fungal spores, moisture and the absense of ventilation. Simply removing the decayed timber can sometimes be ineffective as the rot can have spread deep within the grain of the timber transferring to other parts of the window or timber structure.
