Before you hire
The same businesses fix a broken pane and double glaze a house, so one list covers both. For retrofit double glazing, ask whether your existing frames are sound enough to keep, what glass is quoted (Low-E and an argon fill cost more and insulate better), and whether doors, bathrooms and low windows are priced with safety glass, which carries a permanent NZS 4223.3 mark. Replacing windows in a house of up to two storeys does not usually need a building consent, unless the old ones leaked. There is no glazier licence in New Zealand; Window & Glass Association New Zealand membership is voluntary.

Before you hire a glazier in Napier and Hastings
Drawn from 159 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
How much does double glazing or a glass repair cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Retrofit double glazing runs from about $600 to $800 per square metre, or $400 to $850 per window in aluminium frames. Timber frames cost more, at roughly $800 to $1,200 per window, with a whole-home retrofit sitting between $12,000 and $25,000. Full window replacement, new frames included, starts at $25,000 and can exceed $80,000, making retrofit 30 to 60 percent cheaper where frames are sound. For a single broken pane in an aluminium frame near ground level, expect around $320 plus GST, within a range of $200 to $800 plus GST, with timber frames and double-glazed units costing more. What moves any price is the frame type and condition, whether you specify Low-E glass or an argon fill, whether safety glass is required, the size and shape of the window, and how many windows are involved. Access matters too: glass above ground-floor height can require scaffolding, which adds significantly to the total. These figures come from installer-published price guides, and no independent New Zealand source publishes glazing prices.
Is double glazing required by law, and does replacing windows need a building consent? expand_more
Nothing in New Zealand law requires an existing home to be double glazed. Building Code clause H1 sets a minimum window insulation value only for new housing, starting at R0.37 nationwide from 3 November 2022 and rising to R0.46 or R0.50 in the colder climate zones during 2023; an alteration to an existing house only has to leave the home no worse than it was before. The healthy homes standards for rental properties require ceiling and underfloor insulation, not double glazing, and the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme funds insulation and heat pumps, not windows. Under Schedule 1 of the Building Act 2004, window work on an existing house of up to two storeys is exempt from a building consent, except where the old window failed the Building Code for durability or the work affects a specified system, and exempt work must still meet the Building Code. Glass in showers, doors, balustrades and similar risk areas must be safety glass carrying a permanent NZS 4223.3 compliance mark. There is no glazier licence in New Zealand; the Window & Glass Association New Zealand is the voluntary industry body and runs a member search if you want to check whether an installer belongs to it.
Should you retrofit double glazing into your existing frames or replace the whole window? expand_more
Retrofit replaces only the glass within your existing frames, leaves the join between the window and the wall undisturbed, and costs substantially less than full replacement when the frames are structurally sound. Full replacement suits frames that are rotten, corroded, or badly draughty, and is the only route to thermally broken aluminium, uPVC, or new timber frames, which insulate better than old plain aluminium because plain aluminium conducts heat freely even with double-glazed Low-E units fitted, where Low-E means a thin metallic coating on the glass that reflects heat back into the room. Double glazing keeps the inner glass surface warmer and so reduces condensation, but it does not remove moisture from the air, so ventilation and extractor fans still matter, and a plain aluminium frame can still run with water even after the glass is upgraded.
What are the warning signs of a glazier or double glazing company to avoid? expand_more
- –Repeated missed appointments with no call, text, or apology beforehand are a clear sign of poor reliability, and several reviews in this area describe exactly that pattern.
- –Taking materials, such as original glass, without asking the customer is a boundary issue that has come up in local reviews and suggests the installer may not respect your property.
- –Entering a property when the owner is not home and without prior agreement is a serious red flag, reported by at least one customer in this region.
- –A company that is hard to reach by text or email and only responsive by phone creates problems if something goes wrong after the job, since you will have no written trail.
- –Sealed double-glazed units that fog between the panes within a few years indicate a failed seal; avoid any company that is slow to honour a warranty or goes quiet when you raise a defect.
- –Scratched glass, damaged paintwork, beading left in poor condition, or mess left on site after the job suggest workmanship shortcuts that are worth asking about upfront.
What should you ask before hiring a glazier or double glazing installer? expand_more
- –Ask whether your existing frames are sound enough for a retrofit or whether they need replacing, and get the installer to put their assessment in writing before any deposit changes hands.
- –Confirm exactly what glass is being quoted: whether it includes a Low-E coating, an argon fill, and safety glass in any location where NZS 4223.3 requires it, such as a door panel or shower screen.
- –Ask how long the wait is from deposit to installation, since several local reviews praise same-day or next-day response, which sets a reasonable benchmark for urgency jobs.
- –Find out what the warranty covers on the sealed units and on the workmanship, how many years it runs, and who you contact if a unit fogs or a seal fails.
- –Confirm whether the quoted price includes removing the old glass, making good any paint or beading disturbed during installation, and scaffolding if any windows are above ground-floor level.
- –For an urgent repair, ask the call-out fee upfront and whether the opening will be fully glazed the same day or temporarily boarded, so you are not left with an insecure opening overnight.
