Replace glass in double glazed window

Options
Moving out of our rental we noticed that glass is cracked in one of the fixed double glazed windows. It's a fairly small one - perhaps 2 ft by 4 ft? The landlord told us he will get some quotes to get it fixed. What sort of price should we be expecting? We are in London.

    Replacing a double glazed sealed unit it a simple job, no more than an hour. My guess is it's within a call-out charge (plus the cost of the unit itself).

    That's very helpful, thank you. Do you have an approximate number of how much those could be?

    The panel will cost £20 - £30. But fitting is probably £50 - £80

    Shouldn't be much more than £100.

    Try looking up double glazing companies and call them direct. Ask for an estimate for replacing a window of that size.
  • We're having a panel changed in a door this week. £130 for Flemish glass.

  • I had a single door glass replaced in London about 8 years ago. About £200.

    Cost of a sealed unit for our French doors was £35, that's toughened glass. Won't be much for a window.
