Glazier costs

Are you thinking of adding new glass in your home and would you like to use a glazier to do so? Are you wondering what this might cost? Let this page help you!

What’s a glazier?

The glazier is a specialist who carries out the work required for placing glass in windows and window frames. Essentially, the glazier replaces and supplies all types of glass. Each type of glass has its own advantages and disadvantages. Often the choice is made for wired glass, safety glass, solar control glass, patterned glass, laminated glass, HR++ insulation glass or natural double glazing. You can also opt for stained glass. When calculating the cost of a glazier, you have to take into account differences resulting from the choice of the type of glass and the number of square metres to be glazed.

How much does a glazier cost?

The costs charged by a glazier depend very much on the project. To give you a good idea of some of the costs that can be charged by a glazier, we have listed some of them for you:

How is the price of a glazier determined?

Several things have a direct influence on the exact cost. Think not only of the type of work that needs to be carried out, but also of the travel time and, of course, the type of glass that needs to be placed. For certain jobs, especially in places that are not freely accessible, additional costs may also be charged.

Choices that influence the price of a glazier

If you wish to use a glazier to install or replace glass in your home, you should bear in mind that the costs charged by this professional depend heavily on various factors. We will be happy to list these for you.

Choice 1: Urgent work

Glazing work can be carried out both with and without urgency. For example, has a ball gone through the window or do you have storm damage? In that case, you will want to have the glass replaced as soon as possible. That is possible, but a glazier will always charge a surcharge, which can make the total cost of your project considerably higher.

Choice 2: The type of glass

A second, extremely important choice to take into account is the type of glass that will be used. In the past, it was generally always decided to just install single glazing, but today most people opt for double glazing or high-efficiency glass. This glass may be a little more expensive to buy, but on the other hand you can make decent savings on your energy bill and that is always a good thing. Here are some average prices:

Choice 3: Replacing existing window frames or not?

Many people who choose to replace their windows take the opportunity to also replace the window frames. After all, it can happen that a window frame fitted on single-pane glass is not suitable for carrying high-efficiency glass. For the installation of a window including frames and glassware of 60×60 cm you can take into account an average cost of about 300 GBP.

Compare prices

It is always wise to compare prices. This can save you a lot of money. You can also save money by choosing a glazier in your neighbourhood, to avoid paying high travel costs. Of course, you can also choose to place the glass yourself. However, this will cost you a lot of effort and time. Moreover, the glass must be placed professionally to prevent leaks. That is why it is wise to use a glazier. We can put you in contact with up to six glaziers from your region. You compare the quotations obtained (in your mailbox) and start comparing.
