The glass goes cloudy.
You try scrubbing it, but the water is actually stuck inside the unit. The perimeter seal is gone.
The £10k Myth
People panic when they see that fog.
The assumption is that the whole window is wrecked. Most people think they have to rip the frames out, ruin the plaster, and buy a full house of new windows.
Salesmen love a blown seal. They use it as an excuse to push a massive contract. It is usually a total rip-off.
The Glass Swap
Check the plastic or metal frame itself.
If the lock works and the frame isn’t cracked, it stays where it is.
We just pull the internal beading out. The broken glass comes out. A brand new A-rated glass unit goes right back in.
The Result
It takes twenty minutes.
The view is clear again. The heat stays in the room. It costs an absolute fraction of a full refit.
The Honest Truth
A lot of companies push for full replacements just to hit their sales targets.
We don’t. Rotten or warped frames need replacing, and we’ll tell you if yours are shot. But for solid frames, we just swap the glass and save you the cash.
Send us a photo of the misted window, or come down to 78 Alma Road. We will price up the glass unit, not a whole new window or give us a call on 01202 533126.
