Many Thanks for taking the time to show video very helpfu.l Im trying to find a method to hold window whilst hinges are disconnected and easier way to take gearbox off without having to lean out of the window.(Have subscribed)

[@GeoffreyPapin]

I have the same kind of problem on a PVC windows. A little bit scared to make the situation worst if I'm honest. Do you know ruffly how much should I budget for a professional to fix it for me ?

[@grahamgeorge1130]

Easy when you know how, thanks for the inspiration, shame you can't re-film with a POV cam.

Thanks for the help. Very good. I also have a problem with a top opening vent (like the one in your video). But the locking mechanism is a pin (like a shoot bolt on a garden gate) on either side which should retract to open the window when the handle is lifted. I can see that one side is retracting (because the window loosens on that side) but the other is not. Could you advise how to fix this type? TIA.

The gearbox needs replacing

[@wobstar40]

Great video very informative thankyou

[@bawling2010]

How much did you charge for that please

[@wing-cobiggles6602]

Great video, but how loose is that window in the frame!!!

[@umairramzan3096]

I have two windows that have no rollers?? Any idea how to open these from what i can see when i turn the handle one pin wont release ??

[@scf1218]

That’s proper chap fair play to ya, I broke three Allen keys today opening a similar window tight as hell the lock mechanism was all in one tho no teeth I sweated abit more too 🙈 lol 👍👍

[@EssexDoubleGlazingRepairsLtd]

Glad it helped. You can sometimes remove the gasket as well to loosen up the window and make a bigger gap for the alan key.

[@timhayes629]

thanks for sharing this video

[@core-element]

Ooopps, whole window moved prying that bottom bead out 1:30

[@yvonfem]

Top man a real pro

[@billphillips4777]

Good looking bloke😍👴

[@kornelijekovac9793]

Are these windows opening to the outside?

[@EssexDoubleGlazingRepairsLtd]

Kornelije Kovac yes

[@kornelijekovac9793]

Weird. How do you stop it from slamming into facade? How do you catch it when it's wide open? How did you put them on the frames?! Good thing is that you have extra space on the inside :)

[@demonslayer7014]

what if you cant replace that section how to we get it to close coz it wont close

[@chrisball864]

Hah the whole window frame moved when he pushed it at 1:01 !!

[@gerry4585]

ideally get a rag or something to protect the customers sill!.....very unprofessional?

[@EssexDoubleGlazingRepairsLtd]

No Window Sills were harmed during this video.

[@leeshephard]

Can't see what you are doing!

[@justharryjohnson7250]

naughty naughty, you didn't toe and heel the sash that's why it had dropped and broke in the first place, the mitres need to line up and the lock keeps adjusted to suit if not.

[@EssexDoubleGlazingRepairsLtd]

I did toe and heel the window when i refitted the glass. It was edited out to shorten the video. Perhaps i should of mentioned it but was first vid ive ever made and dont always think to say these things. Have intended to make many more repair vids but never got around to it since. Toe and heeling would of been one of them.

[@justharryjohnson7250]

@@EssexDoubleGlazingRepairsLtd This is the problem when making videos. So may times I edit something and think oh crap I forgot to say this or mention that.

[@meentaalmaan]

And you're just left with the scratched up window sill from dropping the mechanism onto and putting all your heavy metal tools on to without laying something down to protect it first 😀 Not very professional. Don't try to smile it might hurt your face 😀 cheer up! And get some polos with your company name on, it looks better.

Thanks for your advice. Sometimes we all can’t be perfect. But I will take your comments on board for future reference.
