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.
Belgravia
Belgravia is a district in West London within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It has extremely pricey homes and is considered to be among the wealthiest districts in the world. It lies south west of Buckingham Palace. The district gets its name from one of the Duke of Westminster’s subsidiary titles, Viscount Belgrave.
Belgravia’s Grosvenor Estate continues to be owned by a family property company, namely the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Group. However, the estate has been compelled to sell lots of its freeholds to its tenants, because of the Leasehold Reform Act 1967.
Most of Belgravia used to be owned by Richard Grosvenor, 2nd Marquess of Westminster, who developed it through the 1820s and onwards. Thomas Cubitt primarily worked on the project. You will discover lots of grand terraces at white stucco homes focused around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. Several embassies are situated in this location, particularly in Belgrave Square.
Pimlico Road, on the southern side of Belgravia, is well known for its antique shops and high-end furniture showrooms. One established brand along the road is Arthur Brett. Despite these shops, it’s a quiet district of London and neighbouring districts are substantially busier with a lot more shops, offices and hotels.
