About Glazier
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.
Shower screens and mirrors
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
