Got my gardiners backpack and pole, gonna try and do my first house tomorrow it's leaded, can I treat it the same way as I would an unleaded window? I've washed and bladed the excess water off and scrimmed this house for years, will I encounter any problems chaps? Any tips, advice etc?

 
As long as the lead is in good order and it's a good quality soft ish brush just treat it as a normal unleaded house

are they proper leaded windows or the stick on lead type. If they are real lead windows i clean leaded windows on large listed buildings DO NOT push hard you will bow the window or push the glass segments out and they are not cheap to replace.

I should of been more specific really, it's only stick on lead... Not the original leaded

I'll report back tomorrow

 
One tip I fine on leaded is to go side to side with the brush in stead of up n down just seems easer to me.

dont use a stiff brush as some times the edges of that stick on lead can look like they have loads of cut marks along the edges.
