Glazing and misted units: what the job involves

Replacing a cracked pane or a double-glazed unit that has misted up between the panes, in the existing frame. The frame stays; a glazier measures the unit, has a new one made, and fits it on a second visit.

How long it takes: Measured on one visit and fitted on a second, usually one to two weeks apart; fitting takes under an hour per unit, longer for large or high panes.
