What affects the price
— Glass type. Float glass is cheapest; toughened, laminated and double-glazed units step up in price.
— Pane size & thickness. Large or thick panes cost more in material and need two people to handle.
— Access & height. Second-storey windows and hard-to-reach panes add time and equipment.
— After-hours call-out. Emergency board-up and night or weekend work attracts a premium.
— Frame condition. Damaged timber or aluminium frames may need repair before new glass goes in.
Tips before you post
— Doors and low windows legally require safety glass — a like-for-like swap of old float glass isn't compliant.
— For overnight breakages, ask about a board-up now and glass replacement at standard rates the next day.
— Broken glass from break-ins may be claimable — check your home insurance before paying outright.
