Unique windows for every situation |

After the window is cleaned up, on larger jobs lengths of copper wire are soldered on to the leads. These copper ties will be used to hold the window against iron bars set in to the stonework, adding extra strength against the elements. |

The last lap. Removing the old window can be a slow and painstaking process, making sure the stone is not damaged as I chisel out the old, often extremely hard, mortar which held it in place and kept it waterproof. The channels are clear for the new window, which should slot in, to be tied to the bars and mortared in place. |

Smaller windows and panels are easy to pack and transport - and install. For larger stuff, the back-up team and scaffolding are needed. |
