Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Richmond: what will it cost?
Budget £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Richmond, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers

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.
Typical settings for misted unit replacement with laminated glass:
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations

Getting the right glass for your building
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
Energy specification
New low-E and argon units are usually warmer than the ones they replace.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Richmond: questions
Do you cover Isleworth as well as Richmond?
Yes. As well as Richmond, we can arrange surveys in nearby Isleworth, Hounslow and Barnes. 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.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed 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.
