About Glazier
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 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
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.
Sealants, beads, and putty explained
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.
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
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.
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.
Single glass versus double glazing units
Single glass is one pane, usually 3 mm or 4 mm thick. A double glazing unit is two panes separated by a spacer, creating an insulating gap of about 12 mm to 20 mm. Replacing just one pane inside a sealed unit is not possible; the whole unit must be made to size and swapped.
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.
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.
