Hi

Has anyone, or does anyone know how to remove the diamond lead effect from the outside of all my double glazed windows?

Thanks in advance

Sean

    Hi Sean
    If it is just the stick on type, it will just peel off. this will leave a glue residue that can then be removed with expanding foam gun cleaner (approx £6-7) or you could try nail varnish remover, but this is more expensive.

    I was going to ask this, it was at our last property. Also, if the windows were leaded before fitting the leading will go under the frame.
