What comes up for glaziers

Made to measure and call-outs

A made-to-measure shower enclosure has weeks of lead time, a broken pane has to be replaced today. Both run in the same business.

Insurance cases

Glass damage is often billed through the insurer, with photos, measurements and deadlines.

Breakage and complaints

Glass breaks, measurements are wrong, parts have to be reordered. Credit notes and redeliveries need clean documents.
