 Hi everyone. . . . if you are all still out there!

 Just a quick note to say that we are still here and I'll be putting some more interesting things up on this Blog.

Truth is, because of COVID, I haven't really been on the ball with this but will move forward now.

Back with more stuff.

Back in 2021 and no change.

 Hi to anyone dropping in.

Pretty much zero posts for 2020, as in truth, I just didn't have the heart to do it. That said, it is now January 2021 and we are fully locked down again, so I may as well put something up over the next few weeks.

Back soon!

Take care and stay safe. : )

The world has changed!

Well, I have been a little behind on posting on here, being busy doing other things but it seems that I now have spare time, like many of you out there.
From Happy New year to a much changed world, COVID19 is something that I'm sure the world will never forget - we are now all in the same boat.

So, I'm going to dig out some of the projects and post them up.

Keep your distance and wash your hands, this is going to take some time to pass.

Back soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Window pivot housing remake.

It's been a while since I posted on here, been really busy.
So, over the next few weeks I will play catch up!

We were sent these two images and the description of the problem was that the housings were failing/cracking.

 So, having converted several lumps of brass into the correct shapes and had them chrome plated, we ended up with these! Customer was over the moon!

 

Lightfoot Windows Crouch Hill.

No new parts on the this post, just some sad news.

Lightfoot Window Fittings, of Crouch Hill, London, is with us no more!
They finally closed their doors at the end of July, after being there as long as I can remember.

We dealt with Lightfoot for many years, swapping parts, supplying them with off the shelf items and bespoke parts and generally having a good laugh! : )
Great guys to deal with, who served countless people who rolled up to their door at the side, where they ran a Trade Counter, supplying Crittall Windows and parts, as well as many other parts for steel and aluminium windows.

There aren't many of us left now - we have lost Brent Alumin, Anglia Fixings (Window Fittings Division) Edwards Window Accessories, of Sheffield and a few others trading in similar items.
Perhaps with the rise in online trading, some of the older established companies, who specialise in face to face trading, struggle to keep up.

A lot of tradesmen, throughout London, used to head to their trade counter - pick up the parts they needed and went back to site to sort the job out.

They will be sadly missed.
