I'll use a chemical stripper, I know I'll crack the glass with a heat gun.
Then I've gotta get onto the back of the house, it got painted six years ago by the people we bought it off but I think old mate went straight over the old paint without any prep. As it's already delaminating I'm hoping this will make my life easier. North facing so insane UV where we are, nothing survives.
I'll pay a painter to do the inside of the house.
And yeah, as previously mentioned, new putty all round.

I would be stripping those with an infrared stripper. Tricky not to crack a pane of glass though. It can be done by hand with a carbide scraper/chisel but then you would just scrape the worst bits and blend them in by sanding.
They need new putty too. I would use an acrylic putty, real putty takes months to dry before you can paint it and in some places birds like to eat it when it's soft.
