Understanding the Process Behind Replacing Your Window
Glass
Most UK homeowners will face the need for window glass replacement at some point—be it from misted double glazing, cracks or failed seals. But many aren’t quite sure what the process looks like. At Get Your Windows Fixed, we believe that knowing what to expect can make the entire experience quicker, clearer, and stress-free.
1. Initial Consultation or Free Quote
The first step begins with a consultation. You can call us or use our website to book a free, no-obligation quote. A technician will visit at a time convenient to you, assess the window’s condition, and confirm whether a full replacement or glass-only solution is best. No high-pressure sales—just honest advice.
2. Measurements and Glass Selection
If replacement is needed, precise measurements will be taken. Homeowners may also have input on glass options, including:
Clear or textured glass – ideal for bathrooms or privacy requirements.
Toughened or laminated glass – better safety and break resistance.
Energy-efficient A-rated units – to improve insulation and lower energy bills.
If necessary, we can also match styles for listed buildings or conservation areas.
3. Ordering and Lead Time
Once specifications are confirmed, we’ll order your new glass panels from trusted UK manufacturers. Lead times are often fast—typically 3-5 working days—but we’ll give you a personalised ETA based on availability and glass type.
4. The Replacement Appointment
On the day of installation, our experienced fitters will remove the old glazed unit without impacting the surrounding frame or decorations. The new unit is fitted and sealed efficiently, often in less than an hour per window depending on complexity.
5. Final Checks and Clean-Up
We conduct a final inspection to ensure everything fits and seals perfectly. All protective films are removed, the work area is tidied, and you’re shown the result before we leave—no mess, no fuss.
Things You Don’t Need to Worry About
You don’t need to be home for the whole day – our team gives you a tight arrival window.
No need to replace full frames – if your frames are intact, we replace glass only.
No draughts after – our installations are sealed and energy-efficient.
