Replace hinges on upstairs Upvc window

[Simon Whitehead]

Hi. I want to replace the hinges on an upstairs window. It's a top opener casement window, so the hinges are attached at the top of either side.

I don't have access to the outside. How difficult will it be to replace the hinges from the inside? Is it even possible? I think I will look for a window fitter rather than do it myself. I just wondered how they'd do it.

Thanks in advance.

depends on the size , if we were doing it , we would have one person unscrew the hinges from the frame , whilst another held the sash ( smaller sashes you can do with one person. We'd always take top screw out first , so that the window doesnt need to be fully open when taking the weight...........

Also if it an internally beaded PVC window you can take the glass out to make it lighter
