this is the first time I've watched a video by you and you explained it really well. And you saved me some money too. Top man! I'm donating £5 but only for the celebration dance which I'm now going to do after every DIY success! Thank you!
Just a little tip, I found it easier, in cold weather, to use a hair drier to soften the beads before trying to remove them. Sorry if that's common knowledge, I live in a bubble🤣
Same! On my kitchen window the kitchen fitter siliconed it in and although the unit isn't blown I wonder if it will come out without cutting the silicone out.@@wormwood6424
great video saved me £150 doing it myself 5 conservatory windows replaced, as conservatory is 18 years old a couple of the long beadings bowed in the middle but glass still firm, maybe upvc conservatory has gone out of square over the years, thanks. 3
Thanks for this great video Stuart. This gave me the confidence to replace 9 units in our windows. Mine didn't come out so easy since the rubber was stuck to the glass. Used silicone spray and a flexible table knife to break the seal. I also needed to use a mallet since the beading was firmly clipped in. There were a couple of areas where I'd left a nick in the edge of the frame/beading. I used fine glass paper to remove the burrs. Thanks again.
Thanks Stu …had a couple of sofas delivered today and no way were they going in through the conventional way …. So watched the video And knocked out and refitted a 2100 x 1200 unit ( 45 kilo ? )in about 10 minutes … job done ! I owe you a beer 🙂
looks so easy !! mine must be super glued in !! Ive been hammering a sharp chisel in, a tool the same as yours and it just wont open up !! I really dont want to pay a local company over £400 for two small units I can source myself for £96!!
Ace video, good clear and concise presentation, You Tube at it's best! Thanks for sharing the knowledge Stu. A charity donation in your name and may the favour bank pay you in other ways. Take care
Thanks for this! Installer put a unit in upside down in a fixed sash with Georgian bars - wife noticed the horizontal bar doesn't align with the opening sash it sits next to in the window! Saves calling them out again, cheers!
Stu, get yourself a "Moon Knife" it's every glaziers favourite weapon, I have a Wurth one, around £19 on EBay, it's a crag rest bit of kit, you can get them cheaper if you shop around or you might find them in your local trade tool shop! Thanks for another cracking video Fella
I really needed some help with this, because I blew today I similar window to a door and I stay to a rent house, I need to replace this window before the owner of the house will find out. Usually, when I go to a window store, they can cut me the window to measures I need?
measure from bead line in milometers (mm) to the opposite side bead line (that's the edge of the bead that meets the frame edge) then take of 10mm from your measurement, that will give you the glass size you need.
I've got about 5 blown panels in my house. How do i measure up for replacements? Do i need to take them out and measure or do i just measure up to the outside edge of the beading?
Fantastic video, thanks Stuart. I have the same type of window( internally beaded), I have noticed the external rubber gasket seal on the outside of window is starting to become rather brittle. Is it possible to replace the rubber seal gasket without removing the window from the frame? Any help would be appreciated.
How you just did it is how I do it, but when I went to pick up a second hand window for my shed the seller (a window fitter) stopped me from doing it that way and removed the rubber strip from the front so no pressure on glass the the trim came straight out easy!! Only thing is I don't know the rubber bit goes back in? Can you help? Do you have a vid for that?
I am looking to replace the glass with framed window can you advise where to look. So basically I have same window as yours but I am looking to install 2 windows in that space. cheers
I'm curious why no mention of replacing the glazing tape? Are you reusing the old or do your windows not have double-sided glazing tape like most all these type windows here in the US?
You are correct: for security and water seal, there should be double-sided glazing tape.. A lot of UK double-glazing was originally fitted as a rushed job, with no effort to seal the gap between window frame and wall, this latter made easier in recent hears by expanding 3M tape and similar.. the old method, using expanding foam, added a lot of time / an extra day visit to the job.. I guess not removing the cover tape from double-sided tape was another way to save a few minutes. Lazy approach.
Hi Stu, mu units don't appear to have beading on the inside (or outside). Looks like the may be bonded at the corners? any ideas on what i could do to exchange the glass?
@@paulpatrick2208 there will be some internal rubber around the inside of the frame, remove that before you remove your external beading, have a spotter on the other side of the window is always a good idea.
You'll have rubber gasket around the inside of your window which you will need to remove first before you remove the external bead, its the same principle.
Hey stu bit late watching this vid but ive got a question if the windows have water in them and its not condensation because you open them every day at least for 15mins how the hell do you deal with it.........how does this happen or is it a big job to do? Would be great if you have an answer or even a vid.
Cheers stu. School boy error. It's a lam unit with 16 mm bar. So glad it fits like a dream. I posted a little vid on it working. In real life looks sick. Thank you so much x
My brother had to pay some guy 60 quid to take window pane out so he could get new settee in living room it took him 10 minutes, I'll show him this video next time.
Great video thanks. Wondering how much you think a panel of glass that size (unfrosted) would cost and where to find a glass supplier? And would they deal with a diy-er or only tradesman?
you can look online for window suppliers, or you can contact some in your local area. They should sell to the general public as this can be done by a competent DIY'er. No-one can tell you the price as there are various factors that determine the price.
If you mean there are no beads? Check the outside, some older windows are externally beaded. You have to pull out the gasket from the inside, then the beads will loosen on the outside and you follow the same procedure as this video. Then just do it all in reverse to get the glass back in. Need a glazing spoon to get the gasket back in tho.
Superb video. None of the unnecessary chat. Straight to the point and easy to follow. Keep up the good work

Blokes like you have saved me a fortune. Much appreciated mate.

Thanks for the tip
Any tips on getting the glass out. Mine seems to be glued in!!

Excellent, how all youtube videos sould be, simple to follow and straight to the point.
That is why it is best to avoid the American ones. They just drone on endlessly.
Absolute legend, saved me a fortune. Cheers Stu!!

My ones were also very tight. And it's even worse, this side was installed outwards (not easily accessible from the room)
That's not a chisel
Hi Stuart, Have watched the video, and saved my life, (better than what I thought,) All the best Brian 😃
Mate, you is an absolute legend. Keep up the good work.
Excellent tutorials with a nice bit of humour as well.

measure from bead line in milometers (mm) to the opposite side bead line (that's the edge of the bead that meets the frame edge) then take of 10mm from your measurement, that will give you the glass size you need.
Nice one mate👍 Great video
Thanks you great video very informative 👍👍👍👍👍
How do you measure the glass replacement?
I've got about 5 blown panels in my house. How do i measure up for replacements? Do i need to take them out and measure or do i just measure up to the outside edge of the beading?

Fantastic video, thanks Stuart. I have the same type of window( internally beaded), I have noticed the external rubber gasket seal on the outside of window is starting to become rather brittle.

Great video thanks! Is it the same process if the glass is in the opening window?
Great work, thanks for sharing.
Hi Stu what screws do you use to fix the window to the wall. sorry in advance if this is a silly Question.
How you just did it is how I do it, but when I went to pick up a second hand window for my shed the seller (a window fitter) stopped me from doing it that way and removed the rubber strip from the front so no pressure on glass the the trim came straight out easy!! Only thing is I don't know the rubber bit goes back in? Can you help? Do you have a vid for that?
Thank you♥️♥️✌️

I am looking to replace the glass with framed window can you advise where to look. So basically I have same window as yours but I am looking to install 2 windows in that space. cheers
Great job, awesome video!
Hi. Doesn't the window sit on the packers to give it a lift or are the packers square to the frame?
How to clean up old damaged screen PVC on Window panels, thanks
Looks easy but every thing kooks easy when a professional does it. 😅 thanks for the video want to try this but scared because my windows age huge.
I'm curious why no mention of replacing the glazing tape? Are you reusing the old or do your windows not have double-sided glazing tape like most all these type windows here in the US?
Internally beaded doent use double sided tape it sits on rolled in rubber gasket
You are correct: for security and water seal, there should be double-sided glazing tape.. A lot of UK double-glazing was originally fitted as a rushed job, with no effort to seal the gap between window frame and wall, this latter made easier in recent hears by expanding 3M tape and similar.. the old method, using expanding foam, added a lot of time / an extra day visit to the job.. I guess not removing the cover tape from double-sided tape was another way to save a few minutes. Lazy approach.
Keep the knife flat when getting in between bead otherwise you will damage them using the corner of the knife
Top job, cant believe how loose the frame is. Can see it moving when your removing the last run of bead.
i know crazy right
Nice one ! Thanks for the vid
Hi Stu, mu units don't appear to have beading on the inside (or outside). Looks like the may be bonded at the corners? any ideas on what i could do to exchange the glass?
Actually on looking close they are externally beaded. Is it the same process? Looks difficult to get them out?
@@paulpatrick2208 there will be some internal rubber around the inside of the frame, remove that before you remove your external beading, have a spotter on the other side of the window is always a good idea.
Where can find glass
Stu, have you and KC done a video on heel and toeing windows?, as cant find a decent one on here!
Yes that reminds me I need to edit that one
What a guy! Thank you
Great! just what I needed :)
Can you do this from the outside aswell?
You'll have rubber gasket around the inside of your window which you will need to remove first before you remove the external bead, its the same principle.
Hey stu bit late watching this vid but ive got a question if the windows have water in them and its not condensation because you open them every day at least for 15mins how the hell do you deal with it.........how does this happen or is it a big job to do?
Would be great if you have an answer or even a vid.
@@Dang_Lin-Wang yeah looks like its in between the glass
Your units have failed.
What was the name of the knife stu?
palette knife
Can you put a 28mm unit in a 24mm frame??, is there anyway?!?!?
No
What if I stick the beads back on with silicone I'm desperate. 250 pound blind unit. Only make in 28mm..
Help
Cheers stu. School boy error.
It's a lam unit with 16 mm bar.
So glad it fits like a dream. I posted a little vid on it working.
In real life looks sick.
Thank you so much x
Thanks mate

Thanks mate.
Ive got all the side pieces off but the glass wont come out.. tried everything. Looks like its hammer time.. lol. Damnit..
Great video thanks. Wondering how much you think a panel of glass that size (unfrosted) would cost and where to find a glass supplier? And would they deal with a diy-er or only tradesman?

thanks
just two packers?
My man
I need a video on how yo remove a UPVc porch
Top tip- open other window and push the unit from other side to get it out
Smooth
what if my unit doesn’t have any covers? mines just black
If you mean there are no beads? Check the outside, some older windows are externally beaded. You have to pull out the gasket from the inside, then the beads will loosen on the outside and you follow the same procedure as this video. Then just do it all in reverse to get the glass back in.

Nice!!!!!!
Wow it that how u going on brother
