I have been struggling for ages trying to open one window that was tightly shut because it has been painted. I am on the top floor of my old apartment block. But after watching your video I focused on the sash cord area and it worked like a dream. So grateful and thank you.

Love your videos Phil, always clear and to the point. My side stops are nailed in and also held in place by the top and bottom stops. The nails are really long so i cant get the blighters free. Do i just have to snip the nails?

I saw a lot of videos and I still could not get my window open. Tonight I saw your video, tried your methods and with a little effort, the window opened. Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you mate!

2:43 Free pdf... Where is this please?

Thank you

1:58 i know it’s obvious but thank you

I dont know why you stopped making videos but this video just saved me over $2000 dollars on my old windows... I took it step by step, and it was just as you described. After only paying $100 dollars to repair the broke glass in both windows i was done

Hi. V good. Made it look so easy, also very correct about old paint making renewal difficult, but if you watch other video on fixing OLD windows they show few methods how to deal with that without destroying woodwork. Thanks

as an apprentice carpenter, about to get into his first box sash window. This has helped me alot!

Excellent thank you

Top video. I'm about to give it a go, and replace a pane of glass too. Already did one sash window, but only the bottom needed fixing but I had so much trouble getting the weight covers off which I now realise was probably because I didn't take off the parting beads!

Please make more videos - absolutely brilliant. I feel like you’d be a very famous youtuber!

Great. Thank you so much

Hi there - do you have a tutorial on how to replace the glazing? I have double glazing, and I am not sure the new glazing has the same weight, so I might need a new cord

The purpose of sash Windows was, in the summer you open the top and the bottom. The hot air rising will then flow out the top of the window allowing cool air from outside to come in at the bottom. In winter you keep the top one closed. Then the hot air stays in. Fresh air will come in at the bottom.

I have done them for years badly, you have just shown me the little extra stuff to help us do it properly. Thank you great explaination

brilliant

Was just fixing a rotten sill and of course the second sash cord goes at the worst possible time. Now I need to learn how to replace a sash cord too... thank you for this video. "Caked in paint" is exactly what this window is 🤢

I am so proud of myself. A senior, I watched the video and replaced the sash cords in my 118 year old house. Because of the storm windows, the double hung window glass hadn't been cleaned in over 30 years. Thank you for posting such a thorough video. I used my own method for determining the length of the cord, and it worked. Now, just 25 windows to go. 😅

Really helpful. Appreciate that

Thanks for the refresher. We have 77 windows to restore on our old abandoned mansion we are restoring. Tips like you just demonstrated will help immensely.

I am gob-smacked. Have renovated a seriously old, damaged sash. Struggling like mad to re-hang with weights (omg). This video (and your free pdf) is gold to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is the clearest, video on the subject out there - absolutely no doubt. You deserve the highest place in heaven.

I understand it’s a beginners guide ( I’ve been doing sashes for 30 years) but I always tell people before they take the parting bead off. Just screw a screw an inch under the top sash , incase it’s no longer attached to the cords and could otherwise come crashing down once it free

Beginers guide to mucking up a chisel 😂Good video, can’t believe you did that to a chisel though aha.

Thanks Philip, any chance you can come and replace mine here in Somerset West in South Africa?

Great video! I've bookmarked this to refer to it next spring when it warms up a bit 😁

In the pdf it says mark the box frame at the same measurement point ..2" above where your rebate starts. Is this the same formula for both top and bottom sashes..?

At the 4 min mark you said Staff bead did you not mean Parting bead?

Good description, and makes it easier for me to point people to your video in the future rather than trying to explain this sort of thing "longhand". Thank you!

Thanks for that.

Great explanation. Very clear. More videos please!

Great video, well explained. So simple even I could do it. I was so impressed I subscribed. 8-)

Thank you for sharing this!

Thanks Phil! I am a carpentry diploma student and this video help me to make a clear mind in maintenance of windows! Thanks very much!

Clear presentation of how to do it, tips and tricks to ease the job. Downloaded the pdf which pulls it all together and is good to refer to. Only need the weather to clear up now so I don't freeze whilst I replace the cords. Thanks for your help.

I replaced an old original broken sash cord on a heavily painted window frame more simply without any disassembly. I used a hacksaw to cut out one side of the original double pulley, attached a new cord to a powerful small magnet, installed a new pulley and attached the other end of the cord to the top/side of the window using a screwed in small metal clip that extended s lightly into the channel - no mess - a lot less work - no repainting -works perfectly well.
