How much should I budget for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Farnham?
Budget £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Farnham, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
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
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required
- Old units removed and disposed of
- Laminated inner pane for security
- New sealed units made to measure
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept

Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.
Common uses:
- Rented homes with a few failed units

- Windows with condensation between the panes
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
What to think about first
Replace the frame instead
If frames are rotten, warped or very old, new windows may be better value. We will tell you honestly.
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.
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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Farnham: questions
Do you cover Aldershot as well as Farnham?
Yes. As well as Farnham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Aldershot, Fleet and Farnborough. Dates depend on installer availability.
Will the new unit match the others?
We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.
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.
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.
