About Glazier
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.
What changes the price
Cost varies with glass type, thickness, panel size, and access height. Float glass is cheapest, low-e coated or acoustic glass costs more. A small 300 mm by 300 mm pane costs far less than a 1.2 m by 1.5 m double unit. Emergency callouts after hours add 50% to 100% to the labour rate.
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.
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.
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.
Single glass versus double glazing
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
