What is the price of misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Portsmouth?
Guide prices for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Portsmouth are £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
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
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane for security
Fitting in Portsmouth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Portsmouth and across the PO5 postcode district, as well as in nearby Gosport (2 miles) and Fareham (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Hampshire covers the port-city shops and offices of Southampton and Portsmouth, Winchester's listed centre, and commuter estates around Basingstoke, Eastleigh and Fareham.
This glazing suits:
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Windows with condensation between the panes
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
Questions we will ask at the survey
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
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
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 Portsmouth: questions
Do you cover Gosport as well as Portsmouth?
Yes. As well as Portsmouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Gosport, Fareham and Havant. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can misted glass be repaired instead of replaced?
Some services drill and dry units, but the seal stays broken and insulation is not restored. A new unit is the reliable fix.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
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.
