Hi,

I am thinking of replacing my windows with double glazed PVC. As my flat
is on the second floor, I would like to know if for this kind of work
scaffolding is needed or can the windows be fitted from the inside of the
flat.
Please can someone give some advice as some window companies say
scaffolding is needed and some say it is not.
Many thanks in advance.


Go to a local decent hire shop and hire a tower.
Various sizes and prices.

I once did a 4 storey block of flats on a 16ft X 4ft tower.



With purpose built flats window replacement usually comes under buiding
works i.e. done by the landlord and added to your service charge (with a
100% markup for administration costs of course).
Apart from the making good round the frame, I can't see you really need
access from the outside. Until the glass goes in, you have plenty of
room to hang out with a mastic gun but the bit under the sill might be
tricky.
