Hi all,
Please see below photo of my tired looking bay window.
I have seen some people in the area have replaced the tiles with UPVC cladding. I had a look on the forum and found someone who had done something similar but their bay was square.
My question really is can I just peel back the lead flashing and remove the tiles and attach UPVC to the wood frame? I know there is a wooden frame behind the tiles as I’ve had all the plaster off on the inside. There is also what looks like roof felt between the tiles and the wood, this has been snagged and is ripped in places. Is there anything more modern I could replace this with?
Any advice on what I should buy for cladding would be appreciated. Obviously I need it to bend round the bay. I’ve read about shiplap and hollow soffits but not sure exactly what I need!
Also! As you can see the wood above the top window and below the bay are not the best, if I rub down, seal and paint can I clad over the top to improve the look? Again any recommendations?
Many thanks in advanced.
Matt
