I have a few houses like this and they come up mint!

You may get the odd window that leaks a bit of water inside but I explain to the customer and they are fine with it :)

they do leak because they are individual pains....(and there 60yr old)

i still do em mind, just brush softly
plenty of cream...plenty of sugar!

Yes they wfp lovely and look really good when done.

plenty of water and gentle scrubbing with a good rinse.

yes they do leak but most customers with this style of window are already aware of this !

but just check and confirm that they are happy with everything

Be very careful with the leaded windows as even if you are gentle the brush will pull the lead off

i think are you confusing 'leaded' that are stuck on with old fashioned leaded windows where each segment is an
individual piece of glass

My original question related to  windows that are individual bits of glass held together with lead.
