First figure out why it rotted. If you don't solve that, if you replace it with wood (and it will be poorer wood in terms of quality because that's how things are now) it will just rot again.
Clear out all the shit that's around it. Find out what's its actually doing; its function, how it was fitted. Then figure out what might be a good, easy replacement job.

It's rotted because it's exposed to the elements, French drain sits in front of it so when it rains the wood would have taken water damage over time.
Thanks for the advice though. I will do a more through examine. I would have thought any thing on the perimeter would have been block work. -
Spoken like a true UXer 👌

This piece of wood under the threshold of the back door is rotting. How do I replace. Do I need to take the whole door out? Can it be replaced with Stone / concrete. I won't be doing it myself but have no idea where to start looking at costs and don't want to get taken for a ride as money is tight.
Bad photo but you can just see the rotting wood under the door
