External Window Sills Fitted

Our window sills are made from dark-grey concrete, and are intended to emulate the bluestone sills originally used. We were happy enough with the apperance of the concrete that we felt we didn't need to spend the extra to get machined bluestone sills made.
As the sills have oxide colouring in them, we had to install them after the brickwork was washed-down, thus avoiding damage to the sills from the acid used to wash the bricks.
Note the "wash-out" in the top of the sill to encourage draiange. Some excess mortar is yet to be cleaned from the sills following installation. One of the cast-iron "Victorian" wall vents we used is also visible (made in China!).
