Accidents happen, and sometimes windows get broken. And that will lead to you wanting to replace just the glass in your window, rather than the whole frame. Also, as windows get older they can mist up on the inside, which means that the unit has ‘blown’ - so you’ll also need to replace the glass. But how much is it to replace the glass in a window? Luckily, if the frame of your window is in good condition, there’s no need to replace it, and this will reduce the cost. For an installer to fit a new pane of glass in a single glazed window, the average cost is £100, while a replacement double glazed sealed unit will cost an average of £110. Of course, as this is an average, if your window is very large you may spend more, and if your window is very small the price may be less. That's why it’s important to get a range of quotes so you can compare costs and get the best price. If you’re good at DIY, you may feel confident enough to have a go at replacing the glass in your window yourself. In that case, the cost of sealed unit and any other materials you need will cost an average of £57. It’s a significant saving, and if you think you can do it, then give it a try. However, if you’re in any way unsure, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. A window installer will be able to replace the glass in your window in less than an hour. Even though it costs more for a professional to do it, if you get it wrong and have to start over it will cost you more in the long run.
Aberdare
Aberdare is a large town in the Cynon Valley area of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. The population was 31,705 at the 2001 census, which makes Aberdare the 13th most populous town in Wales. It is 20 miles north-west of Cardiff and 22 miles north-east of Swansea.
Aberdare grew into an active industrial town in the 19th century, when it became a centre of iron and tin production. Later there were a lot of coal mines in the town which expanded its population as people moved there to work. Now that the coal mines have shut, the landscape has remnants of its past but nature has renewed it to its former beauty.
The town goes back far into history, with ancient burial sites and standing stones still visible today. There is a lot of Victorian architecture still around in Aberdare that links with its interesting past.
Aberdare is a lively town with plenty of shops and restaurants. It is just a 40 minute train ride from Cardiff, so it's easy to appreciate the countryside around Aberdale and then hop on the train to take advantage of what the city has on offer.
If your house in Aberdale needs a replacement boiler, make sure that you get quotes from at least three reputable tradespeople.
