Our hardwood windows were falling to bits, so in this video we need to install some replacement windows but we're on a tight budget (as always!). But should a DIYer attempt window fitting? There are many things to consider, as I'll cover in this video!

I left my job (long time coming and well needed) after ending furlough in 2020. Decided to move back in with my mom. Her whole house needed work, but mostly her kitchen and windows. Within a few months I’d graduated from the RU-vid school of diy! 😂 With your content along with many of the other heavy hitters I’m now Close to restoring her entire house, have fitted a few of my mates kitchens, and I’m now looking to buy my own piece of land to build me own home. I replaced/fixed all her 40 year old mahogany window frames. Even stripped all her windows down to the bare glass, aluminium, replaced the desiccant and they are like new. It’s crazy how videos like yours help people like me. I think I’ve learned more from RU-vid in the last 5 years than I did in the 30 year’s previous. My mates watch sports and I watch you fitting windows! 😂

@user-bt5qt9pp4x Год назад

DIY is not too hard but some important things to remember are to take your time and do not rush anything, make sure the job is done to the best of your ability, if something doesn't feel safe it probably isn't and always consider if you will remove it in the future will it be easy enough to do and sand sand sand.... Keith has come on leaps and bounds since his channel started and he does all of the things I just mentioned! He is also not afraid to show his mistakes and how he fixes them unlike most DIY youtubers.

@sisaktamas Месяц назад

A smart person never stops learning, be it by watching examples on RU-vid. Still, learning by DOING is the hard part, isn’t it?

@TheCornish123456 Год назад

1000 times better than the job done by any window fitter I've ever had to correct the work of. Double glazing installers seem to be on commission with the silicone manufacturers.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Wow, thank you!

@Sonya_Makepeace Год назад

And the caulking manufacturers. They seem to use Caulking everywhere inside the window.

@nickbell8634 Год назад

Great job as always. Ive done 2 windows and 2 doors since moving here. Couldn't believe how easy they were. 1 was an upstairs bathroom window. Quotes from fitters included scaffold which wasnt needed, i did it all from inside.

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

Nicely done Keith. It has to be said, there's a lot of cowboys out there who do half a job and forget the lack of security half the time too so fitting them yourself is by far a better plan. Great video mate 👍🏽 👌

@fredsmith6725 Год назад

Nice one Keith, you did an awesome detailed and neat job😊. To be honest there are some really bad contractors out there so I would also do them myself. The edit was really outstanding too. Thanks, I look forward to the next project.

The Windows look great! I have the same Milwaukee tape measure as you used at the start and i really like it. the finger marks to match the house was a great idea and it really does blend in well.

@iowaboy9361 5 месяцев назад

The book provides clear illustrations ru-vid.comUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.

@mgabbard Год назад

Nice work, Keith! That finger dimpling on the stucco made me raise an eyebrow. But once you had it finished and painted it came out looking really good. You would have to be looking for it to find it. Cheers!

@jamesduffin9417 Год назад

Thank you so much for posting this video! It could not have been more timely. I had a broken gearbox and shoot bolt assembly on the window of my office and the parts to repair arrive today. I was struggling to find a high quality video to help me refit the sash I had just removed. I hadn't removed the glass first and it was so heavy. Your video gave me the idea to remove the sealed unit and fit the sash on its own and refit the glass after! Its now 2130 and after 2 trips to screwfix this evening the window is now refitted an perfect. Thank you so so so much!!!!!

@karlpopewoodcraft Год назад

Perfect, they look great, proper job. Your taking to this diy like a duck to water mate. I love these style of windows I had these in my house in Germany, the really bring the outside in. 😊

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you mate

@tom314 Год назад

About a month ago I put a upvc window & door into the end wall of my garage/workshop (including cutting the hole & putting the lintel), this video would have been very helpful beforehand :) It was a much simpler process than I expected and much much cheaper than having it done "professionally", I keep finding this with building projects. We did buy from modern upvc windows as they're not far from us, it was a very easy experience and I'll happily buy from them again! With the windows in the main house we had a similar experience with the wooden frames and conservatory, I like wood but for windows UPVC is a much better choice!

@MCsCreations Год назад

Excellent work, Keith! It turned out great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@danjason2167 Месяц назад

I did mine a few years back. I found that putting the window beading in at the coners and knocking in toward the centre was easier than going from side to side.

@davidlarder Год назад

Really enjoyed this one Keith. I remember repairing some wooden mock sash windows on our previous house. It was going to be way too expensive to get someone to build & install replacements, so I decided to buy more unnecessary tools (table saw!) and had a go at chopping out the rotten sill, and even an entire corner on two of the windows, where I had to create profiles to match, slotting in to the frame in situ, before getting replacement glass units to fit (4 in each window, all different sizes of course 🤦‍♂️). Your fun with the mallet brought back memories - tapping in pins to fix wooden beading with a hammer while trying not to smash the glass was not fun. A mammoth job for a total amateur, plus took so much longer than a pro, but the satisfaction of finishing it was immense. Plus I got a new power tool 😆. I certainly won’t hesitate to try what you’ve done with PVC windows if the time comes on our current house though. Thanks for putting the effort into sharing 👍🏻

@allthegear-noidea1264 Год назад

Nice job sir, particularly on the troublesome 2nd window. Very strange that the beading was on the outside of both windows as well. Well worth the tool investment too. Classic example of the right tool making a job easier.

@simpletonballsack Год назад

Excellent video and great job! Last weekend I replaced windows in my 70 year old home. Of all the reno jobs it was the easiest EXCEPT I ordered 100mm (4 inch) reveals as I measured a 100mm sill on the inside of the old windows. Seemed logical to me. The new ones came with 100mm timber reveals but 25mm is within the aluminium frame to only 75mm was "revealed" as a sill. The old ones were actually 125mm wide. Had to swap out for the old reveals. That's a little tricky but removing, fitting and flashing windows is easy.

@andrewknots Год назад

@geoffreycoan Год назад

Nice job Keith. I’ve fitted a few windows and doors myself and as you say its a straight forward DIY job as long as you take it carefully. With care a crowbar works well for lifting the glass to toe, heel and pack them out. Fitting the internal glazing trim is probably the hardest part of the whole job, I find its easier to fit both ends in first then progressively tap them into position working towards the centre with a soft headed hammer. Mind, fitting the beading to two circular windows was a right nightmare, I ended up trimming a bit off the beading after spending half an hour chasing them round trying to get them all clipped in !

@10MinuteWorkshop Год назад

Solid job Keith! I’ve seen so many ‘professional’ window fitters just rely on expanding foam to fix the windows in! 😯 Great price for tilt & turn too!👍

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Nice work Keith, those tilt & turn are a good option on ground floor windows where standard casements are restricted opening for safety reasons ! Classic Keith Brown - rips out cr@ppy old window frame "lots of hardwood here I can re-use !" and, I made this trim piece from a UPVC profile I rescued from a skip - you knew that would come in handy one day - Man after my own heart !

Nice job. A few years ago I made and fitted my own sash windows. It's a DIY'able job but certainly shouldn't be one of the first someone tries to tackle.

@ccrjason Год назад

Nice one Keith, I've always fancied having a crack at fitting my own windows. I think I will now. The proper foam guns are worth investing in. They aren't expensive but make foaming so much easier. Just remember, do your best - foam the rest 👌

I made window frames and windows (oversize) out of old Jarrah I had, (Australian hardwood). Used my Dewalt Table saw to mill the timber, turned out very well. Not a fan of inward opening windows, but the cost seems reasonable though...

@usaf4dbt Год назад

Thank you

@SpringRubber Год назад

Beautiful job, sir! That style of window isn't readily available in the US which is too bad because I love the versatility of how they open. The price you paid for those, less than a $1,000 USD, seems like a great deal. I recently installed 3 casement-style windows into brick openings on the ground floor and it took me way longer than your job. But when I did the the upper story I had the manufacturer install them. The crew completed 5 windows in exactly 6 hours and left no mess.

@andljoy Год назад

Nice job , i would fix windows myself ( new glass new hinge etc ) but i have never fitted them, they look good. Good call on getting the right tools , the correct tool turns a nasty job into a pleasure.

@martinshrosbree7739 Год назад

If you have more windows to do have a look out for Soudal flexifoam, it’s a lower expansion foam specifically designed for window installation and a lot more flexible than regular foam. It’s blue in colour (my son nicknamed it Smurf Sh!t) and is generally a lot easier to handle due to its lower expansion rate.

@rodpotts2666 Год назад

@jpkalishek4586 Год назад

My house is "Stucco". Some time back someone musta had a Stucco Biz in this area or came through like an Aluminum Siding scammer, as many houses have similar looks. The stucco is shaped to look like cut stone. BUT, they did this by nailing the angled tinwork for openings and metal lath over the existing siding AND trim. Been a nightmare when I have had to replace some of the trim, a sill, and a few windows.

@tazmaniandevil1503 Год назад

I have replaced all of my windows over the last 5 years. We are lucky that we have a local salvage yard selling brand new double glazed windows. These have been wrongly ordered/made or cancelled orders, and come complete with handles, vents, sills, and additional frame extenders if needed. Our windows fit from the inside, as the inside reveal is larger than the outside. I covered the uPVC and glass with the sticky film for covering carpets before spraying the foam because of previously getting foam on frames & glass. My windows are done in excess of British standards & more than meet local building regs. We don't intend ever selling the property, so by the time we snuff it (with luck and a fair wind) it will be time for the new owner to replace them anyway. I would recommend, if the glazing units are already installed, get someone to help lifting them in to place. I did some of mine on my own, and probably shouldn't have as the glass probably doubles the weight. Great video though. I imagine it will help anyone who was considering DIY window replacement make their mind up.

@Jryee Год назад

Awesome job! I’ve just bought the same liniar windows, unfortunately mine haven’t come with the bridging packers. Did you buy yours separately, if so where from as I can’t find them anywhere on the internet! Thanks

@DiHandley Год назад

We’ve just had most of our windows converted to UPVC double glazing. Not very common in Australia! 6 large 3m x 2m windows for a cost of $35k (£18). They were made in the UK and shipped over. It took 6 months! Very expensive but the change to heating and cooling bills and outside sound deadening is amazing. Great video Keith.

@enemyofthestatewearein7945 6 месяцев назад

Nice vid. Fitting windows is not very difficult and it's definitely worth doing it yourself if you are a bit handy, you can save a fortune. I did an A-energy rated bay widow for £700, and the cheapest quote I've seen for that fitted is £3k. If you are getting windows signed off by building control I'd suggest discusing it with the inspector first, and sending them the quotation spec for checking before ordering the frames. That way you can be sure there won't be any issues. Also most window fitters I've watched set the sill on it's own first, using packers stuck with blobs of silicone, then when you drop the frame in on top of the (already level) sill it should be plumb all round. Then simply fix the frame to the walls and fix to the sill from the top.

@trustnuffin9121 5 месяцев назад

@pbarnfield Год назад

Funny as you mention about fixing into brick..... my windows were installed a few years back when we rented the house, and one window was causing cracks in wall and internal sill.... inspected and they'd put concrete screws into the mortar. Idiots!! Refixed and now it's much better. Also done my own composite door - getting sick of tradies who are crap and are meant to be experts in their field. FENSA can get lost!!! I'll do a better and more secure job myself just like you have Keith. Also thanks for the food safe wax - my new kitchen drawer units look nice even if I haven't fitted them into the unit yet!! 🤣

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thanks Phil. Yes, I agree with you on FENSA, and HETAS, and all those other organisations that are set up pretending to help the consumer when actually they're all about making money. HATE them!

As a window manufacturer you did a good job there Keith. A lot of DIYers would miss the toe-and-heeling, meaning that the sashes could end up dropping.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

@dominikfratczak8710 Год назад

don't use any soap while fitting the bead and you won't need any more shimms apart from the bottom ones. Block of wood makes it way easier to fit that bead too. Said by a diy handyman with over 100 new windows fitted in 10 years and twice as much fitted by someone elsa that i had to correct.

@tellthemborissentyou 11 месяцев назад

You don't appear to have pan flashings in the UK. In New Zealand we would put a galvanised pan flashing under the window to stop water penetrating the house or these days we use heavy sticker flashings and use silicon to create a pan shape so any water that penetrates is caught and directed out. It would have protected the house as the wooden frame gave up.

@tdimccullough Год назад

the window glass will probably need to be repacked after a while as they can settle depending on how often you open the windows. also, you don't need to put masking tape on the window frame and wall jambs don't overfill the gap with expanding foam and don't touch it until it dries then it will scrape the excess foam easily and cleanly
