I was ready to order the lead but had a quick look on ebay. I found an auction on with 24 hrs to go for an assortment of 10 cast iron weights, for pick up close to home. So I put a bid in and won for £2.50 - what a bargin. He had a load more when I went to collect so bought the lot for £20.
It will not be a perfect solution as the weights are oly about the right size for single glazing. I've worked out that if the weights are less than 800mm I'll get full movement of the sashes. So I can hang one under another and wrap some scrap lead pipe around them to get enough mass.
If this works out I'll have saved about £300.
