Misted unit replacement in Poole

What is the price of misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Poole?

Misted unit replacement means swapping a double-glazed unit whose seal has failed, so moisture has got between the panes, for a new sealed unit. Doing it with a laminated pane turns a routine repair into a security upgrade for little extra cost.

Fitting in Poole and nearby

Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth, the main centre for Dorset. We can survey and fit across the BH15 district and in nearby places such as Bournemouth and Christchurch.

Dorset covers Bournemouth and Poole's seafront hotels, offices and shopping streets, Georgian fronts in Weymouth, and stone market towns such as Dorchester, Bridport and Sherborne.

This glazing suits:

Windows with condensation between the panes
Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
Rented homes with a few failed units

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.

Unit thickness

We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

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 Poole: questions

Which areas near Poole do you cover?

We can arrange work in Poole and in nearby Bournemouth (5 miles), Christchurch (9 miles) and New Milton (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Do I need a new window frame?

No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed 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.

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.
