Has anyone used a product called Cement Off to remove mortar and possibly render off black aluminium window frames & the rubber weather strip?
Does it work?
Thanks

Windows done properly?

These are photos of small sections as I don’t want to identify myself yet. All frames in the house have cement/mortar all over them, have had for months & months.…

Ok, so now I get the rubber strip is a weather seal. I presume it’s attached to the window frame somewhere. I’m ok with it being there; what I’m not…

I’m looking for thoughts on my windows in a new build.

Ok, so the downpipe isn't a 'dogleg' right now; I think I was getting confused with the…

I’ll try later today. There’s still scaffolding all over the bottom half of the house. It is hard to see. Not supposed to go on site without the project manager.

Thanks for your comments.
There some stacks already in the plan. Another was needed apparently, and we had two bulkheads added in the ground floor. I just couldn't believe that these…
