Our downstairs bathroom window has failed and needs replaced. I've calculated the entire unit is 22mm thick and it seems as if it would be replaced from the outside as the internal moulding on the frame is just too fine to allow any prying.
The windows are timber, I have no idea what company makes them ( and the bathroom has no privacy glass, and all the house has despite being 12 years old windows with those stupid click latches that a one armed person would never be able to close!! DDA friendly my ar#e) but there is evidence on the vertical beads that fine nails/ pins have been inserted. I'm assuming that to remove the unit these sides are removed working from bottom to top, then the (plastic)sill then the top bead. But how do I accurately size the width and height to order a replacement? Any advice I don't want to remove any bits yet, could I assume anything say 5/6mm less than the hard frame size, obviously excluding any beads???
Only Google searches I've come up with are really simple uPVC changes done from the inside...bet these effing wooden beads will end up snapped lol, and the unit would fail 4 months after I finally got round to repainting them all...
TIA....
