Anyone replaced sealed double glazing units themselves?
Previous owner smashed just the internal pane of the existing unit and never did anything to fix it. I'd like to get it replaced. Looking online it actually doesn't look hard at all, and needs minimal specialist tools. It also looks like you don't need a FENSA certificate or anything like that. I'll get some quotes to have someone supply and fit the glass, but I suspect it's something that might be well worth doing myself. It's a small pane (300 x 390 mm) but is leaded in a diamond shape on the outside, which limits the amount of online companies that will do a replacement, but I've found 2 that look fine.
Just looking for anyone to chime in and let me know if it's as straightforward as I hope, or point out a load of really good reasons I'm better off paying a pro to do it.
