Double Glazing Seal Replacement in Swindon – Fix Draughts and Condensation
Your Window Seals Are Your First Line of Defence
Those rubber or foam strips around your windows might not look like much, but they’re doing a vital job. They keep out draughts, moisture, dust, and noise.
When seals wear out or perish, all of that starts to creep back in. You’ll feel cold air around the frame, see condensation forming on the inside of the glass, and notice your heating bills creeping up.
How Do You Know Your Seals Have Failed?
Cold draughts around the window frame, even when it’s closed. Condensation forming on the inside of the glass (not between the panes). Water pooling on the window sill after rain. Visible cracks, splits, or gaps in the rubber seal. Increased noise from outside.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, your seals are past their best.
Why Do Window Seals Fail?
Seals are made from rubber or foam, and both materials degrade over time. They’re constantly exposed to temperature changes, UV light, moisture, and general wear, all of which break them down.
Cheaper windows often come with lower quality seals that don’t last as long. But even good seals will eventually need replacing after 10 to 15 years.
What Happens If You Don’t Replace Worn Seals?
You’ll waste money on heating. Cold air getting in means your boiler works harder to keep your home warm, and that shows up on your energy bills.
Moisture can lead to mould and damp, especially around window frames and on walls near the windows. And if water’s getting in regularly, it can damage the window frame itself, leading to bigger (and more expensive) problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do new window seals last?
Good quality seals should last 10 to 15 years, depending on exposure to the elements and how much the window is used.
Can you replace seals on old windows?
Yes, as long as the frame is in good condition. We’ll assess your windows and let you know if seal replacement is a good option.
Will new seals stop condensation?
