Highland is vast and thinly populated, with Inverness's city centre and retail parks, towns such as Fort William, Aviemore and Thurso, and remote properties where glass deliveries need planning.
Common uses:
- Windows with condensation between the panes
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
What to think about first
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.

Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

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