Thanks for watching!
Superb video. None of the unnecessary chat. Straight to the point and easy to follow. Keep up the good work
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🤣
Thanks for the tip
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.

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!
Thanks buddy got the £5
Blokes like you have saved me a fortune. Much appreciated mate.
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!!
My ones were also very tight. And it's even worse, this side was installed outwards (not easily accessible from the room)
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 🙂
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.
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.
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!
Hi Stuart, Have watched the video, and saved my life, (better than what I thought,) All the best Brian 😃
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
Excellent tutorials with a nice bit of humour as well.
Absolute legend, saved me a fortune. Cheers Stu!!
This is wired I had to change my garage window glass today and then this pops up
Thanks stu very detailed vid keep up the good work
brilliant instructions, straight forward no-nonsense video, more please!
Mate, you is an absolute legend. Keep up the good work.
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
+TheAudiostud we've had one of them they're bloody deadly mate I will stick to bladed edge palet knife 😁
Very good vid. No waffle ... love it. Thankyou, even if I am from Yorkshire :)
Cheers fella easiest process I've seen and now reckon with time I can get my little upvc window finally sorted
Made the procedure look easy and advice was very clear.
Magic😉 justvwhat I needed to know I've scavenged a few old windows to make a mini green house/cold frame
Nice one. It given me confidence now to replace mine now.
Excellent Demonstration Thank You
Thanks very much I just popped my living room window to get settee in 👍
Excellent vid again stu💪👍
Really well explained
thanks Raz
Good video buddy just changed broken window due to your video
nice of you, to work so i can relax and watch :)
I was stuck and U sorted us well done
Thanks for the video, saving people a fortune.
NO WAY!!!
No bloody way it is this easy?!?
Do you need to replace any seals around the glass too?
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.
Thank you for sharing, that's a great job done!
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?
hi, i have 2 missed up panes where do i measure from for the new panes of glass, so i dont have to take them out first cheers
I have the same issue.
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.
Keep the knife flat when getting in between bead otherwise you will damage them using the corner of the knife
Great video thanks! Is it the same process if the glass is in the opening window?
Thanks for sharing, great video & love your work!
Cheers you are a star ⭐️
Man got moves!
How do you measure the glass replacement?
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.
Thanks you great video very informative 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Stu what screws do you use to fix the window to the wall. sorry in advance if this is a silly Question.
Nice one mate👍 Great video
Very good video i thought it would involve screws and other things
easier thank you though Karan
What arwe those blue pieces underneath the bottom of the panel? Are they located somehow locqated in the frame?
How to clean up old damaged screen PVC on Window panels, thanks
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.
nice one mark
Excellent stuff professional gr8 video
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
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?
Great work, thanks for sharing.
This guy knows his shit 👏👏
I don’t have beading on all my windows they look sealed does this sound right ??
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?
where can I buy the glass unit if I want
To do it myself?
Well done mate. Great stuff
You are a star👍
can you tell me a website in the UK where i can buy a single glass insert, please?
Hi. Doesn't the window sit on the packers to give it a lift or are the packers square to the frame?
Thanks mate
much appreciated mate,done a job for me mutter cool dance! at end lol
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
Good job mate 👍🏻
cheers david mate
Nice job
thankyou :)
Where can u get a replacement beads for a double glazed window
NICE ONE 👌 Stu
cheers buddy
Stu another great vidKeep em going
cheers buddy
How much does it cost to replace inner broken glass??
Great job, awesome video!
Thank you♥️♥️✌️
What a guy! Thank you
thanks
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.
Ive got all the side pieces off but the glass wont come out.. tried everything. Looks like its hammer time.. lol. Damnit..
Nice one ! Thanks for the vid
Thanks mate.
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.
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
Where did you get your knife from mate?
great video stu ! but you coulda tarted the window up a bit as well .......lol ...cheers mate .
hahah cheers tart
Great! just what I needed :)
My man
Smooth
Great, very helpful.
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.
Looks easy 😆
I need a video on how yo remove a UPVc porch
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.
Nice!!!!!!
Hey I have a rather dumb question but this is a real question. My home window broke and the contractor is claiming the same amount of money to replace annealed glass as tempered glass even though tempered glass is twice as expensive as annealed glass. He claims this is because annealed glass tends to break during installation and therefore costs more (in labor) to install even though the glass itself is so much cheaper. I am not that handy so can you help me please ? Is he BS-ing or telling the truth ? Is there any reason why it would cost just as much to install annealed glass as tempered glass ?
Please help !!!
Gayatri Prakash he is bullshitting you plain and pure. The double glazed unit has a sealed rubber gasket around it that allows the sealed unit to make a watertight fit in the uPVC frame. This also allows for a bit of flex when snapping the beading back into place. There is no practical difference between the two from an installers point of view other than weight difference.
Try glazing a 8inch square window when you can't bend the trim. Very difficult. Larger windows a quite easy
Awesome
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.
Top tip- open other window and push the unit from other side to get it out
perfect ,,
Where can find glass
Wow it that how u going on brother
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
