  • First quote back for renovating the front door and leaded lights/stained glass windows. It's in a sorry but stable state. Don't see the point in Banham locks with all the glass panels. Just invites smashy smashy.

    1) FRONT DOOR AND FRAME RESTORATION :

    A) draught-proofing : £250
    -routing a groove either in the frame / in the door or supply new door stops with draught-proofing
    (whichever is more appropriate and works better)
    -fitting draught-proofing to the underside of the door

    B) restoration : £1350
    -paint burning and sanding the whole door back to natural wood
    -repairing the door and frame where necessary and treating any rot affected areas with liquid wood
    hardener or epoxy resin ( whichever is more appropriate )
    -fill , sand and prepare the door and frame for further decoration
    -refit the door in the frame
    fit new locks and other furniture (would go with keyed alike ERA locks at £300 fitted)
    -supply and fit new hinges

    C) painting and decorating of the door and frame:£1150
    -painting and decorating of the door (4-5 coats of paint , 1 coat of primer , 2-3 coats of undercoat
    , 1 topcoat )
    -painting and decorating of the frame (3-4 coats of paint , 1 coat of primer , 1-2 coats of undercoat
    , 1 topcoat )

    D) glass repairs in the door , side panels and fanlight : £1580
    -replace broken panes of stained glass and leadwork repairs , glass cleaning , removal of all leaded
    lights ( some panels will be taken away for repairs )
    -repainting of the numerals 120 and writing FERN BANK
    -board up door and frame panels and leave secure
    -reglazing of all leaded lights
    -supply and fit new glass beads

    *OPTIONAL 1: £725
    -supply and fit clear safety laminated glass in front of all leaded lights in the door and side panels and
    fanlight

    *OPTIONAL 2 : £220
    -supply and fit a custom made step nosing

  • All of the glass needs a good clean (tar stains - you can see the difference in colour between the 120 and the Fern Bank panels, the former I just wiped with a wet wipe). My dear is if I'm too heavy handed it will all fall out. Some of the panels don't have security glass either so would like fall in with a less than beefy shove. Plus the wood work on the outside all needs a good going over.
