Frequently asked
How much does a glazier cost?
Typical 2026 UK quotes: £60–£200 to replace a misted double-glazed unit keeping the frame, £50–£150 for a broken single pane, and £100–£250 for emergency boarding up plus an out-of-hours premium. Shopfront and commercial glass is priced per job from £200 upward. Get quotes for your actual job, glass size and spec move every figure.
Do I need to replace the whole window if the glazing is misted?
Usually not. Misting means the sealed unit has failed, not the frame. A glazier can replace just the unit, typically £60–£200 in 2026 quotes, which is several times cheaper than a whole new window. Whole-window replacement only makes sense when the frame itself is failing.
How long does replacement glass take to fit?
Stock-size single glazing can often be cut and fitted on the first visit. Double-glazed units are made to measure, so expect a measuring visit and then fitting on a return visit, typically within about a week (typical lead times, they vary by supplier and season).
Does home insurance cover broken windows?
Often, but it depends on the policy: break-in damage is commonly covered, and many policies include glass cover or accidental damage as standard or as an add-on. Check your policy and weigh the excess against the repair price; a £120 pane may not be worth a claim.
Is this quote service really free?
Yes, free to you, with no obligation to accept any quote. We pass your details only to relevant local glaziers, who quote you directly; we may receive a fee from those providers, which is how the service is funded.
