What does a London Glazier do?
A London Glazier can work in a variety of environments but are familiar with homes and businesses in particular. Glaziers specialise in installing a number of different glass products like skylights, glass doors and large windows. Glaziers are very important to ensuring an environment is well lighted, heated and that there is a clear view connecting the exterior with the interior. The work is very demanding because glaziers have to spend most of the day lifting and manoeuvring heavy materials such as large glass plates.

Glaziers typically have a number of tasks they have to complete which are as follows:
– Follow specifications for size, type, colour and thickness of glass required
– Cutting glass to an exact size and shape
– Removing any damaged glass before installing replacement
– Making sashes required for glass installation
– Using sashes or frames with clips, mouldings and other types of fasteners to fasten glass
– Sealing joints by adding weather seal or putty around panel edges

When working in homes, glaziers will be often installing and replacing different types of glass windows, mirrors, bathtub enclosures and shower doors. Glaziers will also complete commercial tasks which could involve installing security glass windows and room dividers.
For the majority of construction jobs, the glass will be pre-cut and mounted into frames at a factory. Glaziers will then receive the glass at the job site and lift the large pieces of glass or use cranes or hoists for more difficult jobs to install glass. There are cases where the glass does not securely fit in a frame so glaziers have to attach steel or aluminium frames to the building to which then they secure the glass with mouldings, clips or other fasteners.
Glaziers also deal with motor vehicles in regards to replacing broken windows. In addition, a few glaziers work with plastics, marble, granite and other materials as an alternative to glass.
