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.
Etchingham
Etchingham (population 806) is a town as well as civil parish in the Rother district of East Sussex in southern England. The village lies around 15 miles (24 kilometres) southeast of Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent and 13 miles (21 kilometres) northwest of Hastings, on the A265, half a mile west of its junction with the A21. Etchingham railway station is on the Hastings Line to London Charing Cross as well as Cannon Street. Etchingham was an estate a long time before the Norman occupation of 1066; after this time the estate was taken over by the Normans. In 1166 it was left to the de Achyngham (Etchingham) family, who were well-known landowners of the time. The Etchingham family documents document that William was so delighted with his right-hand man that he provided him the land currently known as Etchingham. The moated manor house, time out of mind destroyed, stood at the factor currently inhabited by the London to Hastings train line. Some of the stone from the manor was most likely used in the building of the terminal structures. There is one tale that a fantastic bell lay at the bottom of the moat bordering the church and chateau, and that it would certainly never ever be seen until 6 yoke of white oxen were offered drag it up. Centuries have gone by, the moat is long gone and also no bell has actually appeared. The 14th-century church was originally developed within the grounds of the mansion; proof of the moat can still be seen.
