Velux Window

THT · 16 Aug 2007 at 09:26

Anyone know much about window fitting etc?

When i moved into my house, there was a velux window fitted and what appeared to be condensation inside the pane of glass.

I need to get this replaced, can i just get the pane of glass replaced or do I need the whole thing replaced?

Whats the rough cost for this?

its just the seal in the double glazed unit that's blown, you only need to replace that, many window fitters will replace roof light glass and its no more expensive than a normal window. We had ours done a few years back, no idea on individual cost though as we had a load done at the same time, but it wont be much, certainly no more than 50 - 75 squid fitted or £30 for the unit (assuming its not a massive roof window)

I had a sealed unit replaced about 10 years ago and it was around £150 then ( inc labour )

insurance were paying though so they might have hyped the price up

Dont forget to quote the serial number on the grey metal badge. Its on the side at the top of the window (if that makes any sense!)
