What is the price of misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Strood?
Budget £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Strood, 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.

- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible

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.
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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Strood: questions
Which areas near Strood do you cover?
We can arrange work in Strood and in nearby Rochester (1 mile), Chatham (2 miles) and Gillingham (3 miles). 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.
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.
