Window Repairs in
Hornchurch

When you see condensation, fog, or moisture trapped between the two panes of your double glazing, it means the hermetic seal has broken down. This is commonly known as a 'blown' or 'misty' unit. The good news? In the vast majority of cases, you don't need to replace the entire window - just the sealed glass unit. Our expert glaziers measure, manufacture, and fit replacement sealed units to exact specifications, restoring your windows to crystal-clear perfection. We work with all frame types including uPVC, aluminium, and timber.

Most domestic misty units land between £95 and £240 depending on size, glass type and whether the pane is toughened, leaded or Georgian barred. Replacing several units on the same visit reduces the price per pane.

A cracked or broken window is more than an eyesore - it's a security risk and energy drain. ClearPane provides rapid response glass replacement for all types of damage, from hairline cracks to full breaks. We carry a wide range of glass types including toughened safety glass, laminated glass, and obscured glass for bathrooms. Emergency same-day board up service available so you're never left vulnerable.

Cracked panes are priced on size and safety rating. Toughened glass is required for doors, low-level glazing and anything beside a stairway, which adds to the pane cost.

Window hardware takes a beating over the years - handles seize up, locks fail, and hinges wear out. These aren't just inconveniences; they're security vulnerabilities. ClearPane carries an extensive range of replacement handles, espagnolette locks, friction hinges, and locking mechanisms for all major uPVC and aluminium window systems. Most repairs are completed in a single visit, though some specialist locks may need to be ordered.

Handles, friction hinges and gearboxes are usually a single short visit. Multi-point door mechanisms cost more because the gearbox has to be matched to the existing door.

Installing a cat flap or pet door into a window or door panel requires precision cutting and proper sealing to maintain insulation and weatherproofing. ClearPane's glaziers have the specialist tools and experience to cut perfectly into glass panels and uPVC panels, fit your chosen pet door, and seal everything to professional standards. We supply and fit all leading brands including SureFlap microchip-activated doors.

The price covers a new sealed unit with the aperture cut at the factory plus the flap itself. Cutting an existing pane is not possible on toughened or sealed glass, which is why the unit is replaced.

Patio doors have some of the largest glass panels in your home, and when they fail - whether through blown seals, cracks, or impact damage - they can be expensive to replace entirely. ClearPane specialises in replacing just the glass units in sliding patio doors, French doors, and bi-fold doors, saving you significant cost compared to replacing the whole door system. We handle all glass types including toughened safety glass (required by building regulations for doors) and Low-E energy efficient glass.

Patio and sliding door panels are large and must be toughened, so they sit above standard window pricing. Doors also carry a fitting surcharge because panels have to be lifted out of the running track.

Secondary glazing involves fitting an additional slim-line window on the room side of your existing windows. It's the ideal solution when you can't or don't want to replace your current windows - particularly in conservation areas and listed buildings. Secondary glazing dramatically reduces noise (up to 80%), improves thermal insulation, eliminates draughts, and adds an extra layer of security. ClearPane supplies and fits high-quality secondary glazing systems from leading manufacturers.

Secondary glazing is priced per opening and depends on the frame width and whether you want a fixed, hinged or sliding panel. It is usually the only realistic option in listed or conservation-area properties.

When a window is smashed, your home or business is exposed to the weather, opportunist thieves, and further damage. ClearPane provides a rapid same-day board-up service across Essex and East London, securing your property within hours. We carefully clear broken glass, fit cut-to-size exterior-grade plywood to the opening, and seal it weather-tight. This buys time to make an insurance claim, source the correct replacement glass, or simply sleep easy knowing your property is secure. Boarding is also fitted to commercial premises, shopfronts, and rental properties. Once your replacement glass unit has been measured, manufactured, and is ready to install, we return to remove the boarding and fit your new glass - all backed by our standard guarantee.

Board-up covers making the opening secure and weathertight. The replacement glass is quoted separately once we have measured the aperture.
