Got some misted windows which probably need the pane replacing (not the whole window/frame, which I assume is fine).

Anyone recommend anyone decent? I'm in Balsall Common but I guess anyone Solihull, Leamington, Coventry would do it.

Added complication is they are all Georgian bars (I think that's what they're called), but I assume that shouldn't be a big problem, but no doubt add to the cost (of which I also have no idea!!).

In my life, I have never replaced a window so never used anyone! Hence the request, as would prefer a recommendation than just googling. Thanks.

Can't help with a local supplier but my experience of replacing a double glazed unit was that it was really cheap - like £80 for a pane 1m by 2m .

I used The Window Centre in Solihull to replace half a dozen windows and some patio doors. They were brilliant, reasonably priced and refreshingly free of double-glazing style bullst.

I have no connection with them - but would suggest giving them a ring.

Thanks both, very helpful.

Glad they're not too expensive, and also like a no-bullst or hard-sell approach. Will give them a call, cheers.

There are some adverts in the local "Your call" magazine we get through the door in Coventry. I can look out some details if you still need them.

Thanks, but got those already (I get it as well). I just wanted to see if there's any recommendations before I phoned someone blind.

But thanks beer

I don't know if you've got it sorted but "The Window Centre" are hideously expensive

Next Units in Shirley are cheap - they are a supplier, if they don't fit they will know someone good who does.

Phoenix Glass in Tile Hill are the same.

(I just buy units from both and fit myself)

Thanks V8RX7. Being the unorganised sod I am, no I haven't done it yet, despite others' helpful suggestions. I'll look into those 2, thanks, both are fairly near (particularly Tile Hill).
