What is the price of misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Carshalton?
Our guide range for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Carshalton is £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
What you can specify
- New sealed units made to measure
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Security tape on externally beaded frames

Greater London has every kind of glazing, from Georgian sashes and Victorian bays in conservation areas to high-street shopfronts, office curtain walling and new-build flats.
This glazing suits:
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Windows with condensation between the panes
Questions we will ask at the survey
Energy specification
New low-E and argon units are usually warmer than the ones they replace.
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
Building regulations and safety in 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 Carshalton: questions
Do you cover Wallington as well as Carshalton?
Yes. As well as Carshalton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Wallington, Sutton and Mitcham. Dates depend on 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.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
