Fitting in Exeter and nearby
Surveys in Exeter (EX1) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Exmouth (9 miles), Tiverton (12 miles) and Newton Abbot (14 miles).
Devon spans Exeter's Georgian and post-war centre, Plymouth's rebuilt 1950s shopping streets and waterfront offices, and seaside towns where sea air is hard on window frames and seals.
This glazing suits:
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Windows with condensation between the panes
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
Questions we will ask at the survey
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Building regulations and safety in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Exeter: questions
Can you survey in Exeter and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Exeter, Exmouth and Tiverton are booked around installer availability.
Why is there condensation between my window panes?
The seal around the unit has failed, letting damp air into the gap. The only lasting fix is a new unit.
Does replacing a unit need building regulations approval?
Replacing glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair rather than new building work, across the UK. Replacing the whole window is different and is controlled.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
