Window Head Replacement

Where required (in nearly all instances), dilapidated brick window heads are being reinforced with concrete heads. Apologies for the pictures, they were taken 25ft in the air in near darkness. :/

The top floor stair window below. You can see the concrete head cemented into place below the red brick:


The inside view of the same window below. This has yet to be reinforced and is currently supported in place:



A reminder below of what it looked like before. And proof that the timber head was doing little in the way of support:


The new bathroom window head:



The waste from the bathroom now cemented in place:


A view of the stairway wall, bathroom on opposite side. Note how this interior wall is in no way adjoined to the external wall:


A view of the top of the stairs, much work to be done!

  1. Wondering at what point you realized that you had a house that was going to suck up a lot more time, energy and money than perhaps you had initially thought... What a lot of work, and years more yet to go before I get to the last entry in this blog!
