What this service usually involves

Double glazing problems fall into two types — glass failure and hardware failure — and each needs a different fix. A misted unit normally points to sealed-unit replacement, while stiffness, draughts or poor closing can point to hinges, locks, seals or alignment.

How customers can describe the fault

This distinction helps customers avoid the common trap of assuming all double glazing faults need new frames. In many cases, targeted repair restores the unit, opening or door without turning the job into a full installation project.

Repair or replace: the decision rule

A repair is normally preferred when the frame, sash or door is still sound and the failed item is a part, sealed unit, lock, hinge, handle, roller, barrel or seal. Replacement becomes the better answer when the structure, security, finish or long-term performance cannot be restored by targeted work. That distinction is important for Double glazing repairs because it protects customers from paying for unnecessary full replacement.
