Need a glazier in north London?
A cracked pane, a misted double-glazed unit or a heavy mirror that needs hanging all come down to the same thing: glass measured accurately and fitted securely.
John covers glazing alongside his carpentry, windows and doors, so a cracked pane in a door or a mirror for the hallway doesn't need a separate specialist.
He works across Islington and north London from his base in Holloway, N7.
What glazing work does John take on?
Glass replacement
Broken, cracked and failed glass replaced.
Cracked and broken panes
Window and door glass replaced with the right type of glass for where it sits.
Misted double glazing
Failed sealed units replaced in the existing frame. For frame and hardware problems, see UPVC window repairs.
Door glass
Glazed panels in internal and external doors.
Mirror fitting
Mirrors hung and fixed securely, with fixings chosen for the wall behind them.
Large and heavy mirrors
Hallway, living room and overmantel mirrors fixed so they stay put.
Bathroom mirrors
Mirrors and mirrored cabinets fitted level and secure.
Glass splashbacks
Toughened glass behind hobs and sinks, measured precisely and ordered to size, because toughened glass can't be cut once it's made. See tiling and splashbacks.

Safety glass: where it's needed
The Building Regulations require safety glass in 'critical locations', where people are most likely to walk into it. That includes glazing in and next to doors and low-level glazing close to the floor.
Toughened or laminated glass is the usual choice there. When glass is replaced in those positions, it has to be the right type, not just the right size.
Hanging heavy mirrors safely
A large mirror can be surprisingly heavy, and the wall behind it decides how it should be fixed. Brick, plasterboard and old lath and plaster each need a different fixing.
In Islington's older houses it's common to find all three in the same room, which is why heavy mirrors need fixing by someone who checks what's behind the paint first.
Where does John do glazing work?
Based at 124 Seven Sisters Road, Holloway N7 6AE, and working across Islington and north London.
Questions answered
Can you replace just the glass in a double-glazed window?
Yes. If the frame is sound, the failed or broken glass unit can be replaced on its own.
Can you hang a very heavy mirror?
Yes. The fixing depends on the wall, so John checks what's behind it first. Send photos of the mirror and the wall.
Is a glass splashback safe behind a hob?
Yes, as long as it's toughened glass, which is what splashbacks are made from.
Do you supply the glass?
Yes. John can source glass and mirrors at a trade discount, or fit ones you've already bought.
Which areas do you cover?
Islington and north London, including Holloway, Highbury, Finsbury Park, Archway, Stoke Newington, Camden, Kentish Town, Hackney and Crouch End.
