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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
