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.

Fitting in Loughborough and nearby

Whether you are in central Loughborough or at the edge of the LE11 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Coalville and Leicester are covered too.

Leicestershire combines Leicester's city-centre and suburban shopping streets and Victorian terraces with market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough.

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

Unit thickness

We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.

Laminated or standard

A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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.

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 Loughborough: questions

Do you cover Coalville as well as Loughborough?

Yes. As well as Loughborough, we can arrange surveys in nearby Coalville, Leicester and Long Eaton. 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.

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.

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.
