Hi Everyone,

Can anyone recommend a UK supplier of pre-cut perspex to replace my Smith/Capaldi windows?

Thanks,
Francis

I've just these people a lot in the past and found them very reasonably priced.

Thanks Fivefingered.

Sadly I have water damage at one of the windows and the bottom of a corner post.

That is the cost of an outdoor TARDIS and I think the rest of us would resent you at least on some small level if you didn't have to battle the elements at least a little. ;)  Shoot, even the original police boxes, while made of concrete, suffered from being outside.  Just look at how much work they have to put in on the Crich box.  That said, all the best on your maintenance and repairs.

Please, call me Steve!

I feel your pain. The longer they stand outside, the more maintenance you wind up needing to perform. You've only got to look at my thread to see how much patching up I've needed to carry out over the last twelve years or so...

Mind you some of that was down to my own naivety, though..

Thanks everyone for your best wishes. @fivefingeredstyre has been particularly superb, reaching out to me and offering the benefits of his experience.

Hopefully send you all photos and a progress report in a week or two.
