I recently noticed a leak in the bathroom near the wall that backs onto the en-suite shower. I realised the shower had been leaking a while just never noticed it. I resealed the shower and have now removed the three sections of floorboard (roughly 12 inches each) that were damaged and also cut out a piece of the joist that was also affected, this wasn't affected all the way through.

What treatment do I need to do here prior to replacing the joist section and the floorboards?

Thanks
