Things to decide before you order
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
Rules that apply in 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 Burton upon Trent: questions
Do you cover Swadlincote as well as Burton upon Trent?
Yes. As well as Burton upon Trent, we can arrange surveys in nearby Swadlincote, Derby and Lichfield. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
