Double Glazing Seals?

Question

We moved into our flat in November last year and noticed the double glazing seals might have popped. I would just like to understand an approximate cost to get them repaired, as without the double glazing there is a fair bit of noise and a small draft coming in from some of the windows. There is no damage to the glass, as far as i'm aware it's just the seals.

Hi Daniel. If you are referring to the sealed units being broken down or "popped" as you reference then all this does is cause water to appear between the pieces of glass (usually in autumn) causing marks that you are unable to access/clean. It doesn't however lead to increased noise levels. There are also seals "gaskets" embedded in the upvc profile and then also sealant between the outer frame/building wall, the later being the usual problem. Can you establish which seals have broken down?

Unfortunately as the seals have gone the double glazed units will need to be replaced with new ones , ( I’m assuming that they are fogging up and condensation in between the glass) . The price will depend on the size of the units required and how many ,, as a rough estimate it would be around £100 per unit to get them made and replaced 👍🏼. 
Many thanks

Hiya mate ot depends kn how many your needing and what type of window you have as there will be a vary in prices. It won't be a lot in difference. But your best bet is to take a few pictures and go to a window and doors wholesaler amd ask them to give you a price for new ones that are in your pictures. They need to match

The seals are shaped like a wedge shape,they do perish over time and shrink,I would recommend you get a upvc person who can change the seals for you.

It sounds like the gaskets around the openings may need changing or the hinges may have failed and not pulling the opening window into the frame tightly to get a good seal
