Why might you need a glazier?

There are many situations where you might need to call on a glazier:

• Broken or cracked glass: Whether from accidental damage or bad weather

• Energy efficiency upgrades: Modern double or triple-glazing can reduce heating bills

• Security improvements: Stronger or laminated glass can help keep your home safe

• Decorative or bespoke projects: From stained glass to mirrors or glass balustrades

• Emergency repairs: A broken pane can leave your home vulnerable and exposed to the elements

What does glazing involve?

Not to be confused with a window fitter, who replaces entire window frames, a glazier focuses on replacing glass. Checked glaziers will be able to:

• Help to select the appropriate glazing for the job

• Measure up and order the amount of new glass needed

• Cut glass to size/shape where necessary

• Remove old or broken panes of glass, beading, and putty

• Fit the new glass, ensuring a secure, weatherproof seal

• Provide finishing touches such as putty, beading, or decorative elements

• Offer emergency glazing services, such as boarding up or securing damaged areas

Emergency glazing services

Glass emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time. That's why it's important to know where to turn when you need a glazier urgently.

Emergency glaziers will typically be able to:

• Offer a 24/7 call-out service

• Board up broken windows or doors

• Replace broken glass quickly, especially when security is at risk

• Clear broken glass and make the area safe

• Provide temporary repairs to damaged windows or doors

• Secure premises after glass breakage

• Repair damaged glazing components

When contacting emergency glaziers in your area, be prepared to describe the damage and the type of glass involved, if possible.

How much does glazing cost?

The cost of glazing will vary depending on the type of glass, the scope of the work, and where you live.

As a guide, the average cost to supply and install a single pane of double-glazed replacement window glass is around £100.

A glazier typically charges in the region of £25 per hour.

FAQs about glazing services

What’s the difference between a glazier and a window fitter?

A glazier specialises in cutting, repairing, or replacing glass panes. A window fitter usually replaces or installs entire window frames.

Do glaziers offer 24/7 emergency services?

Many glaziers offer 24/7 emergency services. They can board up broken windows, replace damaged glass, and secure your property outside of regular working hours.

How long does it take to replace a window pane?

For small panes, it may take less than an hour to replace. Custom or double-glazed units may require a second visit to fit the ordered glass.

Will a glazier dispose of the old glass?

Yes, most professionals include safe disposal of broken or old glass as part of their service.

What is 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 fully competent and compliant glazier.
