We have a flat in North London with metal framed windows. The block was built in the 1960s sometime and the windows are beginning (?!) to show their age.
We would like to refurbish (or maybe replace) the windows while retaining their character, modern UPVC framed windows would look horrible (some adjacent flats have them and they *do* look horrible).
Can anyone recommend a supplier/builder/specialist or whatever who could either actually do the work or alternatively supply hardware so that we could do it ourselves?
It's a duplex flat with french doors onto a balcony downstairs plus a separate floor to ceiling window downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs with large windows. The existing opening windows are the swivel type.
The existing frames are not badly corroded but have got distorted in a couple of places so they don't close perfectly.
