OPW does not employ any metal window fitters. However, OPW carpenters working in building maintenance services, national monuments branch and national historic properties have the skills to fit wooden windows which would be up and down sashes (double hung). These windows would be restored by OPW craft carpenters and fitted accordingly.

The numbers of craft carpenters employed by the OPW on the dates referenced in the question are as follows:

* On 01 Jan 2022, OPW employed 4 apprentice carpenters in addition to numbers above

** On 23 June 2023 and currently, OPW employ 10 apprentice carpenters in addition to numbers above.
