Extensions & alterations

Proposal

The proposed works involve the replacement of five existing windows within my leasehold maisonette/flat. The replacement windows would be the same size, shape, and design as those currently in place. The existing timber frames would be removed and replaced with uPVC windows of identical dimensions and appearance, with matching transoms, mullions, and opening arrangements. Data via plota.co.uk
