Anyone in Double Glazing trade?
What should I expect to pay for a replacement double-glazed sealed unit for an aluminium patio door, approx 1910mm x 640mm, 12mm thick or so at a guess. Either fitted price or supply only.
My broken one is toughened glass by the look of how it's crazed into small segments - would they all be toughened by default now, or would I need to ask for that?
It's been broken for 8 months now, I really should get off my ass and replace it lol

To be honest if you call somebody out to measure it up, then go away and get the unit, then come back, remove the old one, fit the new one, and take the old one away its going to be expensive.
If you do it yourself then it's cheap. They are easy, just be very carefull with toughned glass as the edges are very vunable. Never stand it on concrete or anything hard. One little knock and you'll have two broken units!

the one that's in there just went bang on it's own, the inner pane just shattered one evening for no reason.. you can see where it started near the top corner, whether there was just some funny stresses or maybe it's wedged in there oddly I don't know.
I have no problem doing it myself - I guess it will need taking out to measure the size properly ..
