City Glass UK Limited

Replacement double glazed units with integrated blind in my French Doors. This will be the 3rd or 4th time I have used City Glass and I have never been disappointed

City Glass installed 7 windows, French doors and composite front door.

Concerned about the quality of the installation I employed Greg Adams to complete a survey of the installation. Greg Adams has BSc (Hons) in Building Surveying and is a Fellow of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors 2014 and Fellow of Chartered Association of Building Engineers. He has 16 years practical experience of all aspects of Building Surveying with particular in relation to building pathology, condition related aspects of buildings, workmanship and building disputes.

The following are extracts, in verbatim, from his report:
My initial inspection of the window and door installations revealed sizeable gaps between the newly rendered ingoes and lintel soffits to the door/window frames, which is unusual for a property that is undergoing window and door replacement combined with new rendering. Review of the apertures externally and then internally revealed that the gaps were in my opinion resultant from the new frames being undersized within the aperture
As an example the rear patio doors at the jamb location was noted to have a gap internally of in excess of 20mm, where 5mm would be a normal tolerance if installed to the reasonable standard to be expected of an ordinary competent contractor exercising reasonable skill and care. In essence the patio doors are 30mm short in width to the aperture.
A 45mm gap was evident at the head of the entrance door filled with PU foam, outlining that the door unit and side glazed panel is undersized.
Various non-compliances were noted during my inspection, with evidence of corner fixings located too close to the external corner and a lack of fixings to sills and heads.
It should be noted that large gaps leave the window and doors installations vulnerable to failure in relation to weather tightness whilst compromise the thermal capabilities of the installation.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that the window and door contractual works fall below the reasonable standard to be expected of an ordinarily competent contractor exercising reasonable skill and care. Specifically and of most concern in my opinion, is that the manufactured sizes of the windows have not been correctly measured to suit the aperture resulting in excessive gaps around the frames. Further issues were also evident to the contracted works including the frames being set forward and not bridging the vertical DPC as would typically be expected whilst inadequate fixing arrangements were also noted.

To resolve this matter I had to employ a solicitor as City Glass initially refused to replace the windows with correctly sized units. Then, they offered to replace the units but requested that I sign pre-installation agreement taking responsibly for sizing the windows, which was refused. They then requested that Greg Adams supply the dimensions. Again this was refused.

Finally, I requested a refund and sourced another company to install Rehau units.

I contacted Alan for an urgent repair to my 90 year old mother's double glazed front door-she was struggling to lock the door, which caused concerns for her safety. My Mum lives in Edinburgh and I'm in Dundee so was unable to help at short notice. However, when I called the number listed at 20.50, Alan answered and he said he'd visit her the next day. He called me the next day and said he'd be at her house at 12 ish and could I let her know as he didn't want to worry her with a stranger call. He arrived when he said he would and fixed the lock- taking no payment as it was 'only a loose screw'. He was considerate, kind and reassured her to call again if she need help, this type of service is priceless and I can not recommend City Glass UK highly enough. Thank you so much Alan you have epitomised that there really are good guys out there and you are truly a trusted trader. Once again thank you from my Mum and I. Dawn and Chrissy Kirk.

Excellent from start to finish ! Alan came out to price the work, Di in the office was amazing - if you want great customer service this is who to call - and Ellis who done the work was very professional.
3 blown double glazing seals fixed, uPVC door locks adjusted and new silicon round 3 windows and door.
Great company to have dealt with, would recommend to anyone needing glaziers. Thanks again guys, great work.

I needed to get four windows replaced. I asked around a few tradesmen for price estimates and CityGlass came to see the property, and offered a very reasonable price, by far and away the best value for money. They booked me in as soon as they could, stayed in contact with me, and came exactly when they said they would. They did an excellent job, were done within the day, and left the place looking as clean and as tidy as they could.

We had our full flat re-glazed: 3-section bay window and bedroom window (PVC double glazed sash and case), a further bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and utility (PVC double glazed tilt and turn) and a new back door (PVC with stippolyte glass panel).

The customer service from Di at City Glass was fantastic. Always helpful on the phone and communicative via email about progress. We'd had our measurements taken, placed our order and paid a deposit right before lock down started but the team at City Glass handled the situation extremely well.

I'm really pleased with the quality of the glazing units themselves and after a couple of snags around the surrounding woodwork finishing, Dean came out to finish the job and it's all looking great now.

I would highly recommend using City Glass, in fact, we've already gone back to them for quotes on an internal skylight replacement which we intend to proceed with.

window had dropped and was difficult to open and close,
I phoned CITY GLASS and my problem was fixed quickly,
I have forgotten the name of the glazier who was very polite and
showed what had been the problem, excellent service and excellent staff

Amazing work carried out by Dale and his team. Replaced all windows and doors in the property with ease and left the house so clean, you wouldn’t have known anyone had been there.

Excellent job by the City Glass team and would recommend to anyone wanting replacements windows.

5 windows replaced in a flat, From first contact to finished install was seamless. Turned up on time, completed job quickly and tidied up.
Competitive price, good product and good people.
What more would you want?
Recommended.

City Glass advised on replacing 2 leaky tilt and turn windows (above terrace doors) with a "Stormguard" double unit made by Nordan.
There was about an 8 week wait for the unit to be manufactured but it was certainly worth the wait as we now have water-tight windows which have been well-tested during several prolonged periods of rain since the installation.
The fitters are skilled at what they do and very pleasant with it.
We would use this company again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

City Glass installed secondary glassing on 5 windows in our flat and we are very happy with the result. They were friendly, reliable and cleaned everything up after finishing the job. We especially liked that they didn't send one of those sales people that would try to talk you into buying their most expensive product. Instead they sent someone who understood what we were looking for and took measurements right away. Highly recommended!

City Glass replaced all 10 windows in my flat. I am extremely happy with the results. All the tradesmen working on the job were very professional and answered any queries I had. They always cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day.
I would have no problem recommending this company as they made such a good job.

We needed a replacement double glazed unit and we emailed three local companies for a price.

City Glass got the order. One company didn't reply and the other was more than twice as expensive.

Excellent price, excellent service and we will certainly use City Glass again.

City Glass have made two toughened glass table tops for us, each to specific templated sizes. Both were perfect.

Cannot recommend City Glass UK Ltd enough! Phoned and spoke to Alan on Saturday 25th May a Bank Holiday Weekend regarding a glass repair. He assured me that he could have someone come along today Tuesday 28th to assess and make the repair. Stevie came along this afternoon and did a brilliant professional repair job at a very reasonable price!
I don’t live in Edinburgh so it is quite daunting to try and find someone friendly, reliable and trustworthy when it comes to repairs.
I looked up Edinburgh Trusted Traders and found City Glass in their contacts.
So glad I picked them!
Please don’t hesitate to contact them if you need a Glazier..I’m glad I did. Their service is 1st Class! ????

Recently had a large bifold door intstalled by City Glass UK Ltd. They have done a very neat job, the door is excellent quality and works really well. The fitters were extremely good as it was very difficult to get such a large frame into the property but they managed it and it was installed quickly and very tidily.

Top floor flat, 4 window units replaced.
Two workmen arrived promptly, I left them to it with instructions about keys, securing the two cats and left my mobile number to contact me when job completed. All went smoothly and the flat and stair left clean and tidy. If it wasn't for new windows I would hardly know they'd been there! Very pleased with product and the courteous glazers.

Despite a hitch that caused a two week delay to completion we are delighted with the service received. Przemek and Nicos were excellent workers, extremely courteous to us and to each other. Happy to have them work in our home in future.
