About the service

Misted or 'blown' double glazing happens when the seal between the two panes fails, letting moisture into the sealed unit cavity. The trapped moisture condenses and looks like permanent fogging. The good news: in most cases you don't need to replace the whole window — just the failed sealed unit inside the existing frame. S&K Glazing replaces misted units across the UK, typically same week, often with no scaffolding required.

Working in York

York's medieval city walls, Georgian conservation, and the Shambles tourist core mean almost every centre-of-city glazing project here requires conservation officer approval. Listed-building consents, heritage timber sash restoration, and slim-profile double glazing across YO1-YO10 dominate our York workload.

For window-replacement work in York, the property mix across Yorkshire ranges from period stock through to modern new-build, so we specify the thermal solution per property — A++ rated double-glazed sealed units for standard upgrades (U-value 1.4 W/m²K), A-rated solar-control glazing for south-facing elevations, and triple-glazed argon-filled builds achieving 0.8 W/m²K for owners targeting near-Passivhaus performance. Most commonly we're working across YO1 and YO10 postcodes.

01

Free measure-up

We visit, measure the failed unit, identify the glass thickness and any obscure pattern, and quote a fixed price.

02

Standard clear units: 3-5 working days. Obscure or patterned glass: 5-10 days.

Same-day swap

Most misted units are swapped in 20-30 minutes per window. A full house of 8-10 windows is typically completed in a single morning.

FAQs

Common questions

No — the condensation is between the panes inside a sealed cavity. Once the seal fails, the only permanent fix is unit replacement. Drilling and drying treatments are not durable solutions.
Usually no — if the frame is sound (which is normally the case unless it's 30+ years old) we replace only the sealed unit inside it.
Typical misted unit replacement: £80-£180 per window depending on size and glass spec. Compared to £400-£900 for full window replacement.
