    Bay window repairs

    I have a Victorian house that needs renovations. Both of the bay windows to the front need repair work. The slates have degraded as have the nails. The lead is also in poor condition. Assuming that the wood beneath needs replacing and any other associated work, what would an indicative price be? How much could I save by using composite slate or another alternative (is this even wise?) - Thanks.
