- 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.
Goodwick
Goodwick is a coastal town in Pembrokeshire, south-west Wales, directly west of its twin town of Fishguard. The coasts of Wales went through Norse raids during the Viking Era and, in the latter 10th century, Norse trading posts and settlements came to be established. Goodwick was a modest fishing village in the parish of Llanwnda, but in 1887 work started on a train connection and harbour, and the village expanded swiftly to service this. The main market is now tourism though in the town's industrial past brick making was formerly an important market. Some fishing still takes place on a small scale however most activity is centred on Milford Haven. The nearby beach, Goowick Sands, is where the defeated French invasion force convened prior to their outright surrender on 24 February 1797. Fishguard and Goodwick train station served regional rail tourists from the town, and from neighboring Fishguard, before the line was effectively closed to such travelers by the reduction in service to boat trains only in 1964. After this, trains only served Fishguard Harbour and the station fell into disrepair. Following investment from Network Rail and Pembrokeshire County Council the station has actually now been re-built and was reopened for passengers once more, on 14 May 2012. It is served by the boat trains and the freshly launched local trains. The town is also served by the Fishguard town service bus, which runs alternately from Harbour Village or Stop-and-Call, originally a distinct settlement, to Fishguard town hall. Two Fishguard to St. Davids bus routes additionally go through the town. For all of your home developments, be sure to find reputable contractors in Goodwick to make certain of quality.
