Percy Lane Keep.

We have been very busy for the last couple of weeks, so I am running a little

behind on keeping this up to date!

Anyway, here's one of the latest jobs.

An original Percy Lane keep, that operated with a standard

catch, similar to the old CEGO type.

The problem was that with the aid of a screwdriver, the sashes could

be parted and then lifted.

We made a new keep, with a return lip to prevent the sashes being

parted and extended the height, so a new, locking catch could be used.

Job done.

Back next time with a few more projects.

Steel Windows on the Emerald Isle.

It's been some time since my last post and since then I have

been to Ireland and back.

 

After around 25 years of travelling around, surveying thousands

of windows, I  have found myself mainly office/workshop based for

the last six years, with the odd trip to site to meet a customer.

In all those years, I guess the furthest distance would have been around

200 miles, to a large vertical slider job on the south coast, so a trip to

Ireland would be the longest distance to date. 

 This is a wonderful old building, sturdy construction, with a lot of character.

The two days I was there flew by - taking details of parts required,

measurements and photographs as well as getting stuck into some

Scrape, Ease & Adjust work, to assess what could be achieved.
 

It was nice to get back into the thick of it, at the coal face, so to speak.

There is a lot to be done at this site but when it is all done, these windows

should give good service for many more years to come.
