I need to fix some flashing on my porch, which has come adrift but it is difficult to get a ladder there e.g. neighbour has a big dog.
Consequently, I wonder if it would be easier to remove then replace the fixed window immediately above the flashing. The window I want to remove is a replacement for a sash widow and the lower glass is fixed and the upper one immediately above it opens outward, hinged from its top vertical.
Looking at earlier comments here, it seems that the process might be:
1.
Remove internal plastic strips (glazing bars?) from inside the house using a wallpaper scraper or similar thin but wide bladed tool ?
2.
Remove rubber strips from inside ( er is that simply pull them out after glazing bars removed?).
3.
Open upper window, put my hand outside and push in gently so that the glass comes in the house.
4.
Maybe use Duck / gaffer tape if I need a second pair of hands at any time.
5.
Refit window ?
Does this sound reasonable or am I missing something please ?
Thank you
