Frequently Asked Questions

How do you replace double glazed units without changing the entire window frame?

We replace double glazed units independently from the window frame, so you don't need to replace the entire window if the glazing unit fails.

  • The glazing unit is the glass component inside your window frame.
  • We specialize in glazing unit replacement, which is a simpler and more cost-effective repair.
  • This approach preserves your existing frames and avoids unnecessary full window replacements.
  • You can learn more about glazing units and their replacement on our What Is a Glazing Unit? page.

How do glazing bars affect the style and efficiency of my windows?

Glazing bars enhance the visual character of your windows without significantly reducing energy efficiency.

  • They are strips dividing window panes into smaller sections, available in timber, aluminium, or composite.
  • Modern low-conductivity materials minimize thermal performance impact.
  • They help maintain period authenticity for heritage properties.
  • Some glazing bars sit inside sealed units, making them easier to clean.
  • Learn more on our Glazing Bars: Impact on Window Style and Efficiency page.

How do you repair a blown double glazed unit in a uPVC window?

We repair blown double glazed units in uPVC windows by replacing only the glazing unit while preserving the existing frame. Our process includes:

  • Inspecting the window to confirm seal failure causing condensation or fogging
  • Removing the faulty double glazing unit carefully from the uPVC frame
  • Installing a new sealed double or triple glazed unit with premium seals and insulating gas
  • Testing for airtightness and proper fit to restore thermal performance

This targeted repair is cost-effective, reduces waste, and restores your window’s energy efficiency without full replacement.

What is the typical cost range for professional window seal replacement?

Professional window seal replacement typically costs between £150 and £500 per window, depending on size and location.

  • Costs vary based on window dimensions and accessibility.
  • Full replacement ensures proper installation and warranty protection.
  • DIY repairs are possible for minor issues but not recommended for full seal failure.
