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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
