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.
What really changes the price
Price depends on glass type, thickness, shape, and whether the pane is toughened or laminated. Access height, frame condition, and whether beading needs replacing also matter. Larger panes over about 1.5 square metres cost more per piece because they are heavier to handle and transport safely.
Common problems after fitting
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
