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.

Fitting in Pontefract and nearby
Whether you are in central Pontefract or at the edge of the WF8 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Castleford and Wakefield are covered too.
West Yorkshire mixes the offices and Victorian arcades of Leeds with stone terraces and mill buildings in Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield, and Wakefield's town-centre retail.
This glazing suits:
- Door glass that has gone cloudy
- Homes where frames are sound but glass is tired
- Units with blown seals in sunny elevations
- Windows with condensation between the panes
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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 Pontefract: questions
Do you cover Castleford as well as Pontefract?
Yes. As well as Pontefract, we can arrange surveys in nearby Castleford, Wakefield and Ossett. 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.
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.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
