Hi all,i have a victorian house,the window sills are the large cast sort,along with the decorative lintels over the windows,large bay windows downstairs,again with large sills.OK,questions.
1)The bay window sills have worn quite a bit,it looks like a previous owner has skimmed the top with cement,to smooth them up,and this is lifting away,is there a way to reskim ie,special mix/type of cement i should use to smarten them up?what about making sure it bonds to the original material,Unibond?
2)On all the other sills,it is just a case of removing the old flaky paint,and repainting,but do i need to remove ALL traces of old paint,or just to remove loose stuff then key and Unibond before painting with masonry paint?
TIA
