About Glazier
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.
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.
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.
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.
Questions to ask before booking
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.
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.
How a glazier measures the opening
The glazier measures width and height in three places each, top, middle, and bottom, and uses the smallest reading. They also check the frame depth, the rebate size, and the clearance for the glass to expand. For sealed units, a physical visit is needed; phone measurements are not reliable.
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.
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.
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.
