Edinburgh & the Lothians: glazing contractor for letting agents

When a property needs to be made safe after a break-in or damage, the first visit removes loose glass and boards or temporarily glazes the opening. The permanent glass is measured, quoted and fitted on a second visit, and both stages are reported against the same job.

Tenant access is often the biggest cause of delay. With your permission, we contact tenants directly to arrange a convenient time, confirm the visit in writing and report back if access is refused, so you have a clear record of every attempt to complete the job.

The cost of property glazing work depends on the job type, glass specification, size and number of panes, access, whether boarding is needed first, and whether visits are reactive or planned. Grouping planned work across several properties usually reduces travel and set-up time per job.

For workplaces, communal areas and offices, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations require windows, glazed doors and transparent partitions to be of safety material or protected against breakage where needed for health or safety, and to be marked so they are apparent.

What applies in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Section 4 (Safety) of the Scottish Technical Handbooks covers glazing that people could collide with, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, where safety glass is needed.

Where a window provides an escape route, its replacement in Scotland should give at least the same escape opening as before.

Edinburgh & the Lothians has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. Coastal portfolios see more salt corrosion on window hardware and more strain on seals from wind-driven rain. Planned checks on hinges, locks and sealed units help spot problems early, especially in seafront flats and holiday lets.

Urban portfolios often include flats above shops, HMOs and blocks with communal entrances. Access, parking, keys and tenant contact need planning, and ground-floor glass facing the street benefits from laminated glass and secure locks.

Property Glazing in Edinburgh & the Lothians: questions

Can you arrange access with our tenants directly?

Yes, if you authorise it. We contact the tenant to arrange a suitable time, confirm the appointment in writing and keep you updated. If access is refused or the tenant is not in, we report back with the dates and times of each attempt, so you have a clear record for your property file.

Do you provide a quote for each job before work starts?

Yes. Every job gets a written quote that fixes the price for the specification shown, carrying your reference if you give one. For make-safe work, we confirm the boarding cost before or at the visit, then quote for the permanent glass. Any extra work found on site is quoted separately and only done once approved.

Can you help with void properties between tenancies?

Yes. Between tenancies, a glazier can check and repair broken or misted glass, replace damaged locks and cylinders, fix hinges and handles, and fit restrictors where needed. The work is reported with photos, giving a clear record of the property's glazing condition at the start of the next tenancy.

How much does glazing work for landlords cost?

The cost depends on the type of job, glass specification, size and number of panes, access, any boarding needed first, and whether the work is reactive or planned. Grouping planned jobs across properties usually reduces cost per job. See the guide prices for typical work, and every job has its own written quote.
