Any glass within a door, beside a door, or low in a window must be safety glass by law. Look for a permanent marking etched into the corner, such as “toughened” or “laminated”. A glazier should mention this during quoting if your existing pane does not meet current standards.
Watch for mist or condensation inside a sealed unit within the first 12 months; this means the seal has failed and the unit needs replacing. Loose beading, rattles in wind, or water pooling at the bottom corners point to poor fitting. These symptoms should be reported to the glazier in writing.
Single glass is one sheet, usually 3 mm or 4 mm thick, cheap to replace but poor for insulation. Double glazing uses two panes with a 12 mm to 16 mm air gap, cutting heat loss and street noise. Prices rise sharply with double units because the sealed unit is factory-made, not cut on site.
Glaziers seal glass with silicone, acrylic, or linseed-oil putty depending on the frame. Timber frames usually take putty, uPVC frames use rubber gaskets and snap-in beads. Ask which sealant will be used and its expected lifespan, since cheap silicone can yellow or peel within 12 months on sun-facing faces.
Look for a tradesperson who carries public liability insurance, usually 5 to 10 million in cover. Check they give written quotes, supply safety-rated glass, and accept card or bank transfer with a receipt. Avoid cash-only operators and anyone who refuses to show the safety stamp on the glass before fitting.
A single window pane swap usually takes 30 to 60 minutes once on site. A sealed double glazing unit replacement takes about 45 minutes per unit. A full shower screen install can take 3 to 4 hours. Board-up work after a break-in is often done within 1 hour of arrival.
Glaziers also cut mirrors to size and install framed or frameless shower screens. Splashbacks are usually 6 mm toughened glass, painted on the back. Allow 2 to 3 weeks from template to install, since toughened glass cannot be re-cut once it has been heat-treated at the factory.
Accurate measurement removes a 2 mm to 3 mm clearance on each side for thermal expansion and frame tolerance. The glazier checks the rebate depth, which is usually 12 mm to 20 mm, and notes squareness. Wrong sizes force a second visit and a new sealed unit, so ask who measures and who pays for mistakes.
After a break-in or storm, glaziers board up openings with timber or steel sheets and clear the broken glass. The temporary fix usually takes under 60 minutes and costs a flat callout fee. A measured replacement is then scheduled. Ask whether debris removal and vacuuming of glass shards is included.
Single glass is one pane, usually 3 mm or 4 mm thick. A double glazing unit is two panes separated by a spacer, creating an insulating gap of about 12 mm to 20 mm. Replacing just one pane inside a sealed unit is not possible; the whole unit must be made to size and swapped.
