How Do I Choose the Right Window Glazier?

Three things a credible glazing professional should offer are competitive pricing with no hidden costs, an excellent reputation and high-quality materials, with the seal being the most important part. A glazier is there to help, not hinder – they should be trained to repair, replace and install glass in your home, ensuring the job is done correctly the first time. If you are wondering how to choose the right window glazier for your property, this article will provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Fair quote

When hiring a glazier, you’ll be getting much more than an off the shelf product – the bespoke service means you are paying for their time, labour and expertise. That said, any considerably high or complex quotes should be questioned.

While it might be tempting to choose the cheapest quote, it’s worth noting that this isn’t always the best option as it can mean a low standard and quality of work.

Proactive and professional

A glazier should:

answer all of your questions in detail so you fully understand their process and what is required for your job
offer to visit your property to assess the work that needs to be done for a fair, honest quote
dedicate time to understand your requirements, thoughts and ideas
return your calls promptly

source the materials required for your project and cut the glass to the exact measurements required for your home

Experts in their field

A credible window glazier will have years of hands-on experience under their belt, developing their skills and honing their craft. This will reflect in the quality of their workmanship and turnaround times. They should be knowledgeable in all areas of their specialism, including – but not limited to – the following:

Showcase previous work and testimonials

A reputable glazier should be able to evidence the quality of their work through case studies and customer testimonials. This speaks volumes as it will allow you to see the quality of their work and the type of projects they have previously been involved with. Likewise, if they are unable to supply you with many examples – or even none at all – then you are within your rights to question their legitimacy.
