About Glazier
What really changes the price
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.
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.
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.
Shower screens, mirrors, and splashbacks
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
