Double Glazing Units
A genuine price based on a clear double glazing unit (300mm x 300mm or 0.3 sqm), non-energy saving and annealed, includes survey and installation.
Double glazing glass panels are called “Double Glazed Sealed Units” or just “Units” for short. Once they become misted inside, they should be replaced. There is no need to replace the entire window, which saves you money.
Here are some signs and consequences of a failed double glazing unit:
Condensation: Moisture or “misting” appears between the two panes of glass.
Reduced Insulation: The unit loses its insulating properties, allowing cold air to enter and heat to escape.
Visual Impairment: The windows can look unsightly due to the foggy appearance.
Energy Inefficiency: Failed units can lead to increased energy costs as they no longer prevent heat from escaping effectively.
The good news is that most double glazing units can be replaced at a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire window. If you are replacing all the glass in one window, it’s a great opportunity to upgrade to newer energy-saving “units,” which will help you save money on your heating and reduce issues with condensation and mould growth.
We offer a full range of replacement units, including decorative coloured top lights, diamond leaded, and Georgian bar options.
Security upgrades are available for those vulnerable windows and doors.

Encapsulated Stained Glass
Encapsulated double glazing refers to the process of encasing an existing stained glass panel between two pieces of glass within a sealed double glazed unit, effectively creating a triple glazed window. This method is often used to preserve the beauty and integrity of traditional stained glass while also benefiting from the thermal insulation and noise reduction properties of modern double glazing.
Here are some key points about encapsulated double glazing:
Heat Retention: It helps to retain heat within a building, improving energy efficiency.
Protection: Encapsulation protects the leaded light or stained glass from the elements and potential damage.
Ease of Cleaning: Since the stained glass is sealed within the double glazed unit, it is easier to clean and maintain.
Preservation: It allows for the preservation of original stained glass designs, which is particularly important for historical or heritage buildings.
We offer a full repair service for failed encapsulated stained glass windows.
Failed encapsulated stained glass windows have to be professionally and safely removed from the double glazing unit. Once removed, the stained glass panel will have new special edges soldered so it can be installed inside a new double glazing unit.
For older and damaged stained glass panels, we offer a full reconditioning service carried out by dedicated craftsmen.
Smashed units
If you are unfortunate enough to have your window smashed, we can offer an express glazing service to get you back to normal as quickly as possible.
This includes a same-day survey and instant quotation, with glass ordered via our express service.
Unfortunately, we do not offer an out-of-hours board-up service. You should contact your insurance company.
We will arrange a mutual appointment to visit your property and view any repairs that require quoting. Our surveyor will measure for your replacement glass, ensuring it meets building regulation requirements. Once completed, you will receive your free, no-obligation quotation. You are under no pressure to buy anything, and we will not try to sell you new windows like some companies do.
Once we have ordered your replacement glass, we will arrange another mutual appointment to visit and install your new glass. Most replacement glass units are ready for installation within 5 working days. Safety glass, leaded, and coloured designs take a little longer.
We always take away your old glass for recycling.
Once your installation is complete, you will be presented with your invoice. This can be paid by debit or credit card, via internet banking, or in cash. However, we no longer accept cheques.
Your copy of the guarantee will be emailed to you.
Fun fact:
Condensation or ‘steamed-up’ glass can occur when the seal breaks down on the double glazing unit, but sometimes we can be fooled by condensation and cold weather. A failed or condensated double glazing unit will have moisture on the inside of the glass unit which cannot be wiped off. Also, if possible, check the outside of the window as new energy-saving double glazing allows condensation to form on the outside of the glass on cold mornings, which can be wiped off. This is normal and does NOT need replacing. Only moisture inside between the glass that cannot be wiped off should be replaced.
If you have condensation forming on the glass, window frame, and surfaces around the window, it may be because there isn’t enough ventilation in the house or room. This is very common in bedrooms.
This can be a particular problem in winter when it’s cold outside and warm in your home. The moisture collects on cold surfaces, such as glass and walls.
To reduce it, make sure you let fresh air into rooms as much as possible. You can also consider installing ventilation, such as air bricks, extractors, or vents in window and door frames.
Trickle vents can often be added to existing double-glazed windows to allow some fresh air in without letting the heat in your home escape. You can open and close them as you wish.
If vents aren’t an option for you, consider investing in a dehumidifier. Try avoiding drying clothes on radiators, and keep bathroom and kitchen doors closed to avoid letting steam and moisture into the colder rooms of the house.
Damp and water leaks will cause damp and condensation problems in your home.
