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.
Choices you can make
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane for security
- New sealed units made to measure
Fitting in Telford and nearby
We can arrange misted unit replacement with laminated glass across Telford, the main centre for Shropshire, and in nearby towns including Wellington, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury.
Shropshire combines Shrewsbury's timber-framed and Georgian centre with Telford's modern town centre, business parks and estates, and hill-country towns such as Ludlow and Bridgnorth.
Common uses:
- Windows with condensation between the panes
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
- Rented homes with a few failed units
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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.

Which areas near Telford do you cover?

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.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
