Recommendation for Sash Window refurbishment

[buffruffly]

Just wanted to let people know about a fantastic carpenter called Richard Williams who I found on mybuilder.co.uk. He came and refurbished one of our Sash windows last week.  It looks so good I’m having him do more. It’s hard to find people who will repair and paint sash windows and also who are fairly priced. Would highly recommend him. Diligent, tidy and a great craftsman. His number is 07985 161256

I’m not sure if this is the right place for my question; mods can move it to another section if needed.

Might seem like a bit of a dumb question but can I seal between a window and the wooden frame with dry seal by Dryflex? My porch has a very basic wooden frame that holds single panes of glass. I’ve noticed that water is seeping down the back of the frame and causing rot, so I need to seal around the glass to stop this from happening.

I thought that perhaps something like this  https://surreysashwindowspecialist.co.uk/blog/putty-alternative/ might work, but can't really tell if this is is only to seal around the frame or can be used to seal around the window itself.

Thanks for the tip @buffruffly. 

We've had Richard here all week refurbing our sash windows. He's done a great job and we are pleased with the craftsmanship and the value. He is very polite and tidy too. 

Unfortunately, for others looking for his help, he just told me as he is now in his 60s, he may move onto doing something else as it is quite hard manual work.
