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
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- New sealed units made to measure
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane for security

Somerset's glazing runs from the Georgian sashes of Bath, a World Heritage city, to the town-centre shops of Taunton and Yeovil and the seafront at Weston-super-Mare.
Common uses:
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
- Rented homes with a few failed units
What to think about first
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Energy specification
New low-E and argon units are usually warmer than the ones they replace.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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 Clevedon: questions
Do you cover Nailsea as well as Clevedon?
Yes. As well as Clevedon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Nailsea, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare. 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.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed 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.
