About Glazier
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.
Emergency board-up and break-in repairs
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.
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.
Typical time on site for common jobs
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.
Safety glass rules in the home
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.
What a glazier usually handles in the home
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.
Questions to ask before booking
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.
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.
Sealants, beads, and putty
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.
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.
