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.
Bedfont
Bedfont is a district inside the London Borough of Hounslow in West London. It's 21 km west-southwest of Charing Cross and two miles from Heathrow Airport. It includes the area that is informally referred to as North Feltham and also the neighbourhood of Hatton.
Bedfont is mentioned inside the Domesday Book as ‘Bedefunde’, which is thought to originate from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Bedfunta’, which means ‘bed’s spring’. It states that the manors of Bedfont, Hatton and Stanmore had been all held by William Fitz Other. Before Heathrow’s Terminal Five was built, just a couple of miles north of Bedfont, archaeologists found Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman artefacts, suggesting that individuals were residing in and around Bedfont over these periods.
The citizenry of Bedfont stood at 12,701 in the 2011 census. The amount of inhabitants began to rise when Heathrow Airport was opened in 1946. This brought on rising demand for local housing, particularly as the village of Heathrow was lost as well as part of the Hamlet of Hatton.
Bedfont has two surviving manor houses: Pates Manor, once owned by the Page family, and Fawns Manor. Pates Manor is behind the Church of St Mary the Virgin and dates back to the late 15th century. Fawns Manor is around the south side of the Green and dates back to the sixteenth century, now belonging to the British Airways Housing Association.
