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.
Isle Of Scalpay
Scalpay is an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Scalpay is around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) long and rises to a height of 104 metres (341 feet) at Beinn Scorabhaig. The location of Scalpay is 653 hectares (2.52 sq mi). The main negotiation on the island is at the north, near the bridge, clustered around An Acairseid a Tuath (North Harbour). The island is peppered with little lochans. The largest of these is Loch an Duin (Loch of the Ft) which has a little island in it, with the remains of the fort still noticeable. Eilean Glas, a little peninsula on Scalpay's eastern coast, is house to the first lighthouse to be built in the Outer Hebrides. Scalpay's nearest neighbor, Harris, is simply 300 metres (980 feet) away throughout the tightens of Caolas Scalpaigh. In 1997, a bridge from Harris to Scalpay was constructed, changing a ferryboat solution. In 2001, the island had 322 people, whose main work was fish farming and prawn angling. By 2011 the population had declined by 9% to 291 whilst throughout the same period Scottish island populations overall expanded by 4% to 103,702.
