can repair both windows significantly cheaper than replacements.<br/><br/>We also got called back to a nursing home in Denbigh that we priced about eighteen months ago and it looks like we may get the go ahead on this one

works restoring the georgian front door porchAs you can see this Georgian porch is in a dreadful state , this right hand gallows bracket is rotten to the core and all the decorative mouldings will have to be hand made as well as reproducing the rotten carved sections , and the other side of the porch is not much better.<br/><br/><img id="img_demo"

Cheshire window fully renovatedJust a few more pics of some renovation work at the old rectory Chester . This window is a later addition casement window that has rotted from the bottom up due to having a flush joint with the surrounding brickwork , making it impossible to achieve a sound mastic seal , hence water has penetrated over the years. We have removed all the rot and spliced in new sections and created a new dwarf cill bridging the flush joint and eliminating any future water ingress.<br />
