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
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Old units removed and disposed of
- New sealed units made to measure
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required

What to think about first
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Rotherham: questions
Do you cover Sheffield as well as Rotherham?
Yes. As well as Rotherham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sheffield, Barnsley and Dronfield. 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.
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.
