I had a lot of good recommendations when I posted looking for an arborist - now I'm after a glazier. 

 

 

 

We have a large bay window (largest pane is 1500x800) and because the children will often play on the seat there I would like it replaced with safety glass. The current glass appears to be original, or at least it doesn't have any markings indicating it meets modern safety standards. 

 

 

 

I did have a quote for applying a safety film (laminating), now would like to compare with the full replacement option. External accessibility isn't great... 

 

 

 

Does anyone in Auckland have someone they would unreservedly recommend? In our old house I got a few quotes for minor glass work, but they didn't give me any confidence and I ended up doing it myself. This however needs doing properly.

FWIW - i had the same issue with glaziers, extortionate pricing for a simple job that I ended up doing myself for a fraction of the cost.

We had our back door slam in the wind and it broke glass, we got Henderson glass out, the guy was great he went above and beyond.

 

Was about 10 years ago but I still remember they were excellent to deal with.
