About Glazier
Sealants, beads, and putty explained
Modern uPVC windows use rubber gaskets and plastic snap-in beads. Timber frames often use linseed oil putty or a flexible silicone sealant. The right product depends on the frame material. Ask which sealant the glazier will use, since wrong sealant causes leaks within the first wet season.
Questions worth asking before booking
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.
How a glazier measures the opening
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.
Common problems after fitting
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.
How to vet a glazier
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.
How a glazier measures the opening
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.
Common problems after a new fitting
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.
What a glazier actually does
A glazier measures, cuts, fits, and seals glass panels in windows, doors, shower screens, and shopfronts. The job covers single panes, double glazing, and safety glass. Most glaziers also remove old putty, swap broken panes, and adjust hinges or stays. Ask if the work includes site cleanup and frame repair.
Typical time on site
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.
Emergency board-up service
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.
