I was about to get some double glazed panes replaced since they have
developed condensation.
A friend has pointed me at a firm called Crystalclear.
This firm claims to be able to repair such windows at some fraction of
the cost of replacement.


Any direct experiences, please?

The main component is labour unless you are DIYing it.
I suppose it depends on exactly what they do.
Probably change the air in the unit plus new tape.
But there is dessicant in the aluminium spacers, what happens with
that?


tape?

dessicant remains saturated? i.e. no longer a dessicant? so pointless
short term repair methinks

are they in wooden frames or UPVC or ??
