Window repairs in Randburg

Glass that suits life in Randburg

Steel windows and putty

In steel frames, glass is bedded in linseed putty and held with small sprigs. Over the years that putty dries, cracks and falls out, and a pane can work loose even before it breaks. Putty glazing replaces both the glass and the putty, leaving a clean bevel that can be painted once it has cured.

Wooden windows and doors

Timber frames are softer and dent easily, so the beading that holds the glass is eased out carefully and reused where possible. See wooden window glass replacement for windows and wooden door glass replacement for glazed doors, including the French doors found in many older family homes.

Burglar bars on older homes

If your older Randburg home has burglar bars fixed over its steel or wooden windows, and a broken pane sits behind them, the bars may need to come off first. We can supply a welder or trellis specialist for the removal and for putting them back afterwards, so the window is secure again once the new glass is in.

Getting the quote moving

Send us one close-up of the broken pane and one photo of the whole window, including any bars in front of it. That tells us the frame type, the glass involved and whether a welder needs to come along.

Each is reglazed differently: putty for steel, beading for wood and rubber seals for aluminium. Let us know which you have, or send photos, and we will come prepared.
