Need to find an emergency glazier pronto?
Not to worry! The pointers below will help to shed some light on the topic.
- Check that the glazier is accredited by a reputable glazing organisation such as the Australian Glass and Glazing Association (AGGA).
- Look for a company with many years of experience under their belt. This can be far more important than just trade association membership.
- It’s always a smart idea to check that the window glazier has good tradesman and public liability insurance coverage.
- Ensure your glass glazier is a specialist in the type of glass repair you need, such as patterned glass or double-glazing.
- Check their past work! Politely ask to see their glass replacement service portfolio or visit the places they have performed repair work or installations.
- Glaziers are typically very proud of their work. Be cautious of glass glaziers that avoid your request to see their portfolio - it may suggest there is something they want to hide.
- Companies pushing harsh sales tactics should sound alarm bells. Be wary of discounts that are time sensitive or, ‘calls’ to head office etc. A good commercial glazier won’t pressure you.
