Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to fix a broken window in Christchurch?

The cost to fix a broken window varies significantly. A single-pane window will be on the lower end, while a large, custom double-glazed unit will cost more. The final price depends on the glass type, size, and the complexity of the installation. For a precise price, get a free, no-obligation quote from us.

How long does window repair take?

The repair time depends on the type of glass. For a standard single-pane window, the repair can often be completed on the same day. For a broken double-glazed unit, the process usually takes longer. Our glaziers can secure your property with temporary boarding on the first visit, then return to install the new unit once it’s custom-made.

Do I need to replace the whole window, or just the glass?

In most cases, you only need to replace the glass, not the entire window frame. As long as your window frame is in good condition, our team will simply remove the damaged pane and install a new one. This is a common and cost-effective solution for both single and double-glazed windows.

What’s the difference between single and double glazing?

Single glazing has one pane of glass, while double glazing has two panes separated by a sealed air or gas gap. The key benefits of double glazing include:

  • Improved thermal insulation: It reduces heat loss, which can lower energy bills.
  • Reduced noise: It acts as a barrier to significantly decrease outside noise.
  • Less condensation: It helps prevent condensation from forming on the inside of the window.
What should I do if my window breaks at night?

Your first priority is safety and security.

  • Do not touch the broken glass. Place a bucket or container to catch any falling shards.
  • Secure the opening with a temporary fix like cardboard or plywood if it is safe to do so.
  • Contact a professional glazier immediately. Winstone Glass can provide a secure, temporary solution to protect your home from the weather and intruders, and then complete the full repair the next business day.
