- Using a rubber mallet and a strong pallet knife, remove the beading around the window. You might think they’re part of the frame, but they’re actually separate on the inside of the frame and can be taken out by using pallet knife to prize them out. Start with one of the longest beads first and leave the top bead until last.
- Give the glass a little tap to loosen it if it doesn’t come out straight away, then the whole unit should slide out easily. Just make sure it falls towards you and not back out onto the ground below!
- Clear any debris that has found its way into the frame with a brush. Add spacers at the bottom of the frame – these could be pieces of plastic.
- Get your new sealed unit (make sure you measure the glass before you buy one so you know which size to get) and carefully take it out of the packaging. Look for the British Standard mark – that shows you the bottom of the glass.
- Lift the glass into the frame, starting with the bottom first, and make sure that it fits square in the frame before taking the spacers out.
- Use a little washing up liquid to spread along the beads to make it easier when you slide them back into the frame. If they simply push and clip back in, you can use something like a block of wood to help you push them in correctly. Put them back in reverse order to how you took them out.
Forest Row
Forest Row is a village and also fairly huge civil parish in the Wealden Area of East Sussex, England. The village lies 3 miles (5 km) south-east of East Grinstead. A selecting ward in the very same name exists. The population of this ward taken at the 2011 Census was 5,278. The town draws its name from its closeness to the Ashdown Forest, an imperial searching park initial confined in the 13th century. From its origins as a little community, Forest Row has expanded, initially with the establishment of a turnpike road in the 18th century; and also later on with the opening of the railway in between East Grinstead and also Tunbridge Wells in 1866; the line, that included an intermediate station at Forest Row, closed in 1967 as a result of the programme of closures put forward by East Grinstead local and British Railways Board Chairman Richard Beeching.
