Ask if the quote covers measuring, delivery, fitting, sealant, and old glass disposal. Request the glass brand, thickness, and whether it meets local safety codes. Clarify payment terms, deposit amount, and who handles council permission if a street-facing shopfront is being replaced overnight.
The glazier measures width and height in three places each, top, middle, and bottom, and uses the smallest reading. They also check the frame depth, the rebate size, and the clearance for the glass to expand. For sealed units, a physical visit is needed; phone measurements are not reliable.
Most glaziers offer a 24 hour call-out for smashed windows. They board the opening with plywood or rigid sheet, then return a few days later to fit the new glass once cut. Ask if the board-up cost is deducted from the final repair invoice, as many companies do this.
Doors, low windows, and bathroom screens must use toughened or laminated safety glass by code. Toughened glass shatters into small cubes, laminated holds together when broken. A glazier should confirm the rating stamp before cutting. Replacing a broken panel with ordinary glass is unsafe and may fail inspection.
Watch for mist inside double glazing, which means the seal has failed and the unit needs replacement. Other issues include rattling panes, water ingress at the sill, and cracked putty within 6 to 18 months. Request a written warranty covering sealed units for 5 to 10 years and workmanship for 12 months.
A domestic glazier cuts, fits, and seals glass in windows, doors, roof panels, and shower screens. They also remove broken panes, refit beading, and re-seal failed units. Most work is done on-site with the existing frames kept. Always check the glazier has public liability cover before booking.
Price depends on glass type, thickness, shape, and whether the pane is toughened or laminated. Access height, frame condition, and whether beading needs replacing also matter. Larger panes over about 1.5 square metres cost more per piece because they are heavier to handle and transport safely.
Ask for the glass thickness in mm, the brand of sealed unit, and whether the price includes new beading and sealant. Confirm the lead time in days, not weeks, and ask what happens if the measurement is wrong. Get the warranty in writing, usually 5 years on sealed units.
Replacing a single broken pane takes 30 to 60 minutes once the glass is on the van. Double-glazed unit swaps take 2 to 3 hours including sealant cure time. Full window frame replacement with plastering can run 4 to 6 hours. Order custom or patterned glass takes 5 to 10 working days.
Frameless shower screens use 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass with chrome or black hardware. Sliding doors need 6 mm or 8 mm panels running on top tracks. Glaziers also cut and install mirror panels, including beveled edges. Confirm the glass has a safety stamp and that wall plugs suit tile or plasterboard.
