double glazed window leaking between panes

allan2006

Anyone had experience of a double glazed window accumulating water in between panes. I can see about a Cm of water, it has dropped bk a bit.

Anyone ever had a window dr type people out to fix.
does the repair last, how much roughly does it cost?

how much does replacing a single double glazed unit cost typically?

window size is approx 45x115cm.

No. It wont be repaired. The unit has blown and is filling with water as a result of condensation. Ring a local glaziers/glass merchants and ask them to come out to measure it for a replacemant. Expect to pay around £100.

Agree with Phil, £100 max for a new replacement and they can't be repaired no matter what salesmen try and tell you.

Mr.Generous

depends on the size of the panel, as little as £20 for a small one to buy as much as - well biggest I've fitted cost £200. I usually find they fail because of sloppy fitting, look closely when removing old sealed unit and the packers below the unit wont be straight or line up with the glass. Difficult to explain but it means the weight of 1 pain of glass is not supported and the weight is pulling it down against the sealing bead between the two glazing panels. Always get a couple of quotes on sealed units, prices vary. If you can measure it yourself and sound like you know what your talking about the price is always lower.
