Is it time for misted glass unit replacement?

  • One pane looks hazier than the others
  • Misting that comes and goes with the weather
  • Water marks or tide lines inside the unit

Why it happens

Edge seal failure

Every sealed unit has an edge seal and desiccant. Once the seal fails, humid air gets in and the desiccant saturates.

Water sitting on the edge

If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.

Freeze-thaw cycles open up tired sealant and gaskets faster than mild weather does. A spring check after a hard winter catches most problems before they leak.

Do you need permission in England?

Most lantern repairs in England need no approval at all. Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building Regulations 2010 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.

How long does a replacement unit take?

We match tint and coatings as closely as possible; a new unit can look very slightly clearer than older neighbours.
