Yes — we regularly install retrofit double glazing, shower screens and carry out emergency glass repairs across Balwyn (3103) and surrounding Inner East suburbs. Lead time for retrofit work is typically 5–10 business days; emergency call-outs are same-day.

Pricing in Balwyn starts from $495/m² for standard double-glazed units and ranges to $1,190/m² for triple glazing with acoustic laminate. A typical Balwyn home with 10–14 windows falls between $4,500 and $12,000 — pane size, glass specification and frame condition are the main variables. Use the Instant Estimate Tool for a firm, itemised price before committing to anything.

For most Balwyn homes, yes. Single-pane windows account for 25–35% of home heat loss in Melbourne winters. At current energy prices, most retrofit installations in Inner East suburbs return the investment within 7–12 years through reduced heating and cooling bills — sooner on properties where acoustic performance is also a driver.

Retrofit double glazing replaces the glass only — the existing frame stays exactly in place. Because no structural work is involved and the exterior appearance is unchanged, most Balwyn heritage overlay properties are exempt from planning permits. We confirm eligibility at measure-up; in almost all cases no permit is required.

A standard Balwyn home with 8–14 windows is completed in a single day. We remove the old glass, install factory-sealed double-glazed units, re-seal and clean up before leaving. There is no structural work, no plaster damage, and no return visit required for most jobs.
