Fixing a couple of broken old windows (first timer!)


Recommended Posts

Greeting!

 

Attached is a photos of 2 broken windows from a house that I need to repair. Not been inside yet so I dont know the messurements of the windows. Can I work it out before I arrive at the property and get the glass cut prior to this? Who can cut me the glass and how can I attach it to the window seals?

 

Thanks

 

PS I also want to do the window frames up the best I can for as little money as possible (for the time being anyway)

So what type of paint and filler would you recommend?

I don't thknk there's any way you can 'guess' that.  You need to get up there to measure and check that there's some decent timber to put new glass in to.  Looking at the pics, I suspect you'll be lucky to get away without replacing some woodwork.

No

Preparation probably far more important than type of paint and filler. I was recommended Zinsser Allcoat which is v expensive but does primer. u/coat and finish  (3 sep coats but one paint). Equally cheap apaintb and filler would probably be OK since this is (??) short-term work (?)
