Does anyone on here, in the London area, fit windows?

I've just been ripping down my ceiling and have somehow put my ceiling through one of my windows. Oops.

Anyone on here a glazier wanting a morning's work? This Tuesday?

is it just normal glass or a double glazed unit?

just the normal stuff - I say normal. The existing stuff is that old un-heat treated stuff, so it's quite pointy.

you could probably stick a new bit of glass in there yourself, i've done that a couple of times now.

Measure it up, pop down a glass place they'll cut it to the right size for you.
You'll be able to get some glaziers putty from your local B&Q or screwfix

+1 on this.

Its dead easy to do yourself.

The hardest part will be getting the old putty out (depending how old it is).

Just a tip when measuring for the glass, take 2-3mm from the width and height measurement, just incase the frame isnt exactly square!
