Did you know? π€ In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the British government imposed a tax on windows, which led many homeowners to brick up their windows to avoid paying the tax.
This tax also gave rise to the phrase 'daylight robbery', as people felt that they were being unfairly taxed for the basic necessity of natural light.
While the window tax is no longer in effect, there are still many homes and buildings with bricked up windows as a result of this historic tax.
At St Leonards brickwork, we understand the importance of preserving the historic beauty of your property, and we specialize in restoring bricked up windows to their former glory. We can carefully remove the bricks and provide professional restoration services, ensuring that your property remains authentic and stunning.
