AND their was no tar on windows at all anywhere , Phoned contractors and told them so but they were still happy to pay to have the windows cleaned .

Clearly the owner of the house had phoned up and played war stating that the windows were appalling which they were as they had not been cleaned for about 5-6 months . Mike
