Willmot’s houses mostly went up in the late 1960s and 1970s, and a good number still have their original window frames. That matters more than people expect, because a 1970s steel or early aluminium frame is re-glazed differently to a modern one, and the wrong approach either fails quickly or cracks the new pane.<\/p>

Amrah Glass & Aluminium repairs and replaces window glass across Willmot for owners, landlords and managing agents. Glass to AS 1288, a fixed price agreed before we start, and any broken opening secured the same day.<\/p>

Steel-framed windows: what goes wrong and what we can do<\/h3>

Some homes of this era still have steel window frames, usually painted, often many times over. They’re tough frames, but they fail in a particular way.<\/p>

Steel rusts from the rebate outward, under the putty where you can’t see it. As the rust forms it expands, and that expansion presses against the edge of the glass. That’s why an old steel window will crack a pane for no apparent reason, and why a fresh pane fitted into an untreated frame often cracks again within a year or two.<\/p>

Doing it properly means stripping the old putty right out, cutting back the rust, treating what’s left, priming the rebate and then re-glazing with the right putty and clips. Skip the rust treatment and you’re back in a few seasons.<\/p>

Sometimes the frame is too far gone. If the steel has blown out at the corners or lost section, a new window is the honest answer and we’ll tell you rather than take payment for a repair that won’t hold.<\/p>

If you rent through Homes NSW<\/h3>

Important, and it saves people money.<\/p>

If you’re a social housing tenant, repairs go through your landlord’s maintenance line, not through a glazier you call yourself. Arrange your own tradesperson and you’ll usually be out of pocket, because the work wasn’t authorised.<\/p>

Report it as soon as it happens, note the reference number you’re given, and ask whether it’s being treated as urgent. Broken glass that leaves a home unsecure is normally handled quickly. If the damage was caused by you or a visitor, you may be charged for it, which is worth knowing up front rather than later.<\/p>

Private landlords and agents are different. They book us directly, and we provide photos and an itemised invoice for the owner’s file. Meanwhile, clearing up broken glass safely<\/a> is worth reading if there are kids in the house.<\/p>

Vacant properties and between tenancies<\/h3>

Empty houses attract broken windows, and the usual pattern is the same pane going through more than once.<\/p>
