The community centre in Biggar has several windows in the
converted church’s upper hall. During a
storm, the upper portion of one of the windows was blown in.
Inspection showed that the storm had damaged the lower
portion too. It was decided to repair
and refurbish the whole window and do a few repairs required to the blue green
borders too. This work was conducted in
conjunction with Stephanie Whatley of Biggar Glass Works.
The glass is installed into stone and protected by an
external mesh in a steel frame. To get
the outside of the window to remove the protective mesh access to the roof was
required.
This required the hire of a cherry picker to get onto the roof
and access the window from the outside.
One day to remove; a couple of weeks to clean, repair and re-lead;
another day to install.
