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.
Dumbarton
Translating as 'fort of the Britons', Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire. It is on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven joins the Clyde estuary in Scotland. In the past, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and afterwards the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Standing over the town is Dumbarton Castle, situated at the top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised primarily for its substantial part in the War of Independence by being the jail of William Wallace after his capture by the English. As a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Dumbarton Rock is lawfully protected from any sort of work happening on the rock, such as prohibiting such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale throughout the Second World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly affected. Decoy lights were repeatedly put on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on reservoirs in the endeavour to imitate those of the shipyards and to fool the bombing planes, which had a fair amount of success. Whilst Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the downturn of these markets in the 20th century has actually meant that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 inhabitants. The town is the home of Dumbarton F.C., playing in the Scottish Professional Football League at Scottish Championship level. The Denny Civic Theatre is used by a selection of regional groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on several performances.
