uPVC and double glazed windows are incredibly tough and hard-wearing, but occasionally accidents happen and windows need repairing or replacing. Often a skilled repairer can find a way to fix a window, rather than go to the full expense of replacing it. But, if the glass is broken, it will need to be replaced as soon as possible to prevent accidents and security.
Emergency repairs can be expensive, calling out an expert during the night, or even at the weekend can add considerable costs to the job. Each repair will be priced differently, depending on how much work needs to be done. Often the repairer will put in a temporary fix to make your home safe and secure and come back later to finish off the job.
An emergency window repair service cannot replace glass until they measure the size of the glass needed. In some cases, they may need to replace the entire window if it has been damaged. They will probably return during normal working hours to replace the window.
Repair prices can be influenced by a variety of elements. Glass can come in different sizes, thickness and types, such as tinted or toughened. The material of the window frame can also affect the cost. Timber frames can rot and other snags can occur when replacing steel or aluminium frames.
Access to the window can make a difference to the price. Most glazing needs to be repaired from the outside, this means ladders, or even scaffolding may have to be used.
Make sure your glazier is fully insured and belongs to a trade organisation like most listed on HelloGlazing.co.uk. Try to gather several quotes from different companies and ask to see previous examples of their work and references before making a decision.
