About Window and Glass Repair Dunedin

We work on windows in one of the hardest environments in the country for them. That shapes how we quote and what we fit. Glass thickness follows the council wind zone rather than a standard spec sheet. Hardware near the water is 316 marine grade rather than whatever is cheapest on the shelf. Character joinery gets repaired instead of pulled out, because old growth rimu and matai are worth keeping and cannot be replaced with anything comparable.

How we quote

We measure on site, water test where there is a leak, and give you a fixed written price. Where a window could be repaired or replaced, both options go on the same quote with the difference explained. We would rather do the smaller job properly than sell you the bigger one.

Emergency work is different. We come out, make it safe, and measure at the same visit. You get the callout figure on the phone before we leave, so there is no surprise at the end.

The standards we work to

Safety glazing follows NZS 4223, which sets out where toughened or laminated glass is required: in and beside doors, in wet areas, in low level glazing and in large panes. Plenty of older Dunedin homes have plain annealed glass in those positions because it predates the rule, and we bring it up to standard when we replace it.

New and replacement joinery is rated to NZS 4211 against wind pressure. Dunedin City Council maps wind zones from Low through Very High and Extra High to Specific Design, and an Extra High rating covers a site wind speed up to 55 metres per second. We check the zone for your address before ordering.

Who we work for

Homeowners, mostly. Also a steady amount of landlord and property manager work, particularly around the Healthy Homes ventilation standard, which every private rental has had to meet since 1 July 2025. And commercial work: shopfronts, offices, schools and body corporates, where the cost of being closed is usually higher than the cost of the glass.

Where we work

All of Dunedin city, from North East Valley and Opoho in the north through the central suburbs to St Clair, St Kilda, Musselburgh and Andersons Bay. Over Three Mile Hill we cover Mosgiel and the Taieri, up the harbour we cover Port Chalmers, and south we run out to Green Island and Brighton.
