Any Window fitters or anyone fitted some themselves
Discussion
got to change all the windows at home and have 1 which i think i could get done myself and save some dollar, and if its easy enough might attempt doing some of the others.
is it easy hard etc ? size wise wall to wall width is 1195mm top wall to wood shelf is 1185mm and wood shelf is 20mm thick so i presume actual window height is 1205mm ? is it doesnt sit on the wood
id want double glazed with frosted glass and a air vent ideally slide so it can be opened and closed etc and the top opening
any ideas or help would be gratefully received.

Essex.... suggest you call or visit Colchester Window Warehouse. I bought several new d/g units there last year and they were not only very helpful but well-priced.
Window frames are fixed into the wall at the sides. Normal removal method is to cut through the sides, then the top falls down and the cill just pulls out. Basically you're just left with a big square hole in the brickwork. Fit the new cill, sit the new unit on top, then drill and fix at the sided. Once you know the form it's an easy DIY job. Finally, fix beading round the inside to cover up and seal all joins with sealant. CWW will supply all the bits you need.

You will need to get Building Control approval or use a FENSA approved contractor.
or a certass approved contractor,or just not sdmit he has fitted any windows when he sells,or buy an indemnity policy when he sells.Its a load of old crap,just fit the thing i say,should cost you around £110 supply only and take around an hour and a half
king window, not a nuclear power station. It is hardly likely to explode, catch fire or fall out (pun not intended!)Arese said:

Why not just replace the glass?
How easy is that to do? We have a few windows that have broken seals and therefore get condensated, and I believe you can just change the units?finlo said:
