You need to convince The Lord of the manor he should replace them with new upvc.

Personally, I would walk away. You could end up getting the blame when they start to leak.

...and if you break anything - big issues.

This type of work is also tiring as you can't rest the weight of the pole against the glass. Leaks will also upset the owners no matter what they say now.

I do the outside already every 6 weeks but wants the inside to be done once a year.
