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.
Minehead
Minehead is a seaside town and civil parish in the English county of Somerset. It rests on the south shore of the Bristol Channel, about 21 miles (34 km) north-west of the county town of Taunton, 12 miles (19 km) from the border with the county of Devon and in proximity of the Exmoor National Park. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11981, meaning that it is the most populated town in the West Somerset local government region. There is evidence of human occupation in the region since the Bronze and Iron Ages. There was a modest port at Minehead by 1380, which became a major trading centre through the medieval period. The majority of trade moved to more substantial ports during the course of the 20th century, but pleasure steamers did call at the port. A noticeable surge in building during the early years of the 20th century brought about the large main shopping avenue and nearby roads with Edwardian-style architecture. There are a variety of schools and religious, cultural and sporting facilities including sailing and wind surfing and golf. A popular ancient regional custom involves the Hobby Horse, which takes to the streets for 4 days on the eve of the very first of May each year, with accompanying performers and competing horses. The town is the starting point of the South West Coast Path National Trail, which is the country's longest long-distance countryside walking trail. The Minehead Railway was opened in 1874 and closed in 1971, however it has subsequently been reopened as the West Somerset Train.
