    Where are you OP - maybe someone can recommend a local??.

    We had a double glazing issue last year, it was a broken hinge rather than blown unit like you have but it required removing the whole unit to do.

    We got a local guy from checkatrade and he was excellent and very reasonable and it was only a small job. We'll certainly use him when we get round to replacing our blown unit (long way down the priority list atm!!)

    Thanks, I'm in Colchester, I'm still looking around at local places.
    recently replaced two d/g units with no hassle - measure up, including thickness of unit and get local d/g firm to supply - removal and fitting is simple diy

    one thing to be wary of is size/weight - 1m X1m probably ok for one person - needed two of us to lift our living room unit

    It's great you could do it yourself, unfortunately I'm unable to do anything like that due to illness.
