Window repairs in Pretoria
Pretoria is the jacaranda city, home of the Union Buildings and a string of established, leafy suburbs in the east. It is also a city of two kinds of window: older homes still glazed with putty in steel frames, and newer eastern estates full of aluminium sliding windows and doors. We handle both. Our mobile teams come to you anywhere in Pretoria, 7 days a week, and the call-out is free.

Glass that suits life in Pretoria
Older homes with steel windows
Many of Pretoria's older houses were built with steel window frames, where each pane is held in with linseed putty. When a pane cracks or the old putty crumbles away, the fix is putty glazing: old putty out, new glass bedded in, fresh putty finished to a neat bevel. It is slow, careful work, and it keeps the original frames in service rather than replacing them.
Newer estates with aluminium sliders
Further east, newer estates lean towards aluminium sliding windows and doors. These hold their glass with rubber glazing seals rather than putty, so the approach is different. For windows, see aluminium window glass replacement. For a shattered patio door, sliding door glass replacement is usually a same-day job, because the common door glass types are on our vans.
Burglar bars and security gates
If your home in Hatfield, Garsfontein or anywhere else in Pretoria has burglar bars or trellis gates, the broken pane may sit right behind them, and the bars have to come off before the glass can be reached. We can supply a welder or trellis specialist to remove them and put them back afterwards, so you only have to arrange one visit. If you are replacing glass that was broken in a break-in, it is also worth asking about laminated glass, which holds together when struck.
How to send us photos
1. A close-up of the damage
Get near enough that we can see the crack, the break and the edge of the frame.
2. The whole window or door
Step back and take one of the full opening, so we can see its size and frame type.
Questions about window repairs in Pretoria
- Do you work in Pretoria on weekends?
Yes. We are open 7 days a week for emergency window repairs, so a pane that breaks on a Saturday in Brooklyn or Moreleta Park does not have to wait until Monday.
- My house in Pretoria has steel windows. Can you still replace the glass?
Yes. Steel windows are reglazed with putty, and putty glazing is one of our services. The old putty comes out, new glass goes in and the frame is ready to paint once the fresh putty has cured.
- Is the call-out free in Pretoria?
It is. There is no charge for us to come out to Waterkloof, Montana, Silverton or anywhere else in the city.
- What if my window needs glass you do not carry?
Our teams carry 4mm float glass and 6.38mm laminated glass. Patterned, wired or unusual panes we source fast, and we can cover the opening while you wait.
