What does a glazier do?
Not to be confused with a window fitter, who replaces entire window frames, a glazier specialises in replacing glass.
You may need a glazier if you want to replace your existing glass, perhaps to modernise the look of your home glazing, or if you have a broken pane that needs replacing.
A glazier can also help with greenhouse glazing and mirrors.
A glazier will:
- Help to select the appropriate glazing for the job
- Remove old or broken panes of glass, beading, and putty
- Measure up and order the amount of new glass needed
- Cut glass to size/shape where necessary
- Fit the new glass ensuring a watertight seal
- Make decorative glass panels or double-glazing units
Questions to ask a glazier
Glazing doesn’t tend to be something we replace all that often, so you may be unsure what sort of things to check before you hire a glazier.
This list of questions will help you to feel confident in the tradesperson you select for the job.
Do you have insurance?
This is an important question that few people will check.
Accidents can happen – insurance is there to make sure things can be put right quickly and efficiently if they do.
For peace of mind, know that all Checkatrade members must have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.
Do you provide FENSA certification?
FENSA is the leading body providing homeowner protection in the double-glazing industry for windows and doors.
An installer who is FENSA registered can install your new glazing and self-certify that their work meets building regulations. It provides reassurance that they’re a compliant and reliable glazier.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Expertly installed glazing should stand the test of time, but do check with your glazier what warranty or guarantee they offer for their work and the materials they use.
It’s reassuring to know that when you contact a trade through Checkatrade, our guarantee could cover you for up to 12 months. You can claim up to £1,000. Exclusions and T&Cs apply.
Can I see some examples of your work?
If you have a specialist glazing request, for example, decorative panes, it’s wise to check your glazier’s experience in that particular field.
If using a Checkatrade member, you’ll find images of previous work, a glazier’s credentials, and customer reviews on their business profile page within our directory.
How much do you charge?
Expect prices to vary depending on where you live and the scope of the work, but as a guide, a glazier typically charges in the region of £25 per hour.
We always recommend getting a selection of quotes and comparing them like-for-like before making your decision.
