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.
Beckenham
Beckenham is a district inside the London Borough of Bromley. It borders Beckenham Place Park and Bellingham within the London Borough of Lewisham. It's 8.4 miles south east of Charing Cross.
Beckenham had been a small village inside the borough in Kent with most land serving as private parkland till the railway was built in 1857. Following that, an entrepreneurial family started constructing villas which triggered the populace to increase massively from just 2,000 to 26,000 between 1850 and 1900. Since 1900, housing has been constructed at a steadier pace, meaning the populace is beginning to balance out. At the 2011 census, the population stood at 56,668.
The district is served by 3 key railway stations as well as six more within the post town. There is also two Croydon Tramlink stations to the west of the area. Transport for London buses serve the Beckenham area to link it with other towns including Bromley, Catford, Croydon and Crystal Palace.
Beckenham is identified for its many chapels. St George’s Church is the primary parish church and stands at the centre of the district. It goes back to about 1100, but was majorly rebuilt in the end of the nineteenth century. It consists of a 13th century lynch gate that is regarded as among the oldest of its type in England.
