Our Local History
The Origins of Our South Brisbane Glazing Team
As the dedicated South Brisbane Glazing Team, we have spent decades serving the vibrant community of the 4101 postcode and its surrounds.
Our story began long before the modern high-rises lined the Brisbane River; we started as a small family operation focused on repairing the timber casement windows of traditional workers' cottages in West End and Highgate Hill.
Over the years, as South Brisbane transformed into a bustling cultural and residential hub, we evolved alongside it. We are not a franchise, nor are we a call centre diverting work to the lowest bidder.
We are a locally owned, family-operated business that owns our trucks, employs our own staff, and takes immense pride in our trade. From the busy commercial shopfronts on Melbourne Street to the architectural glass balustrades of luxury apartments on Grey Street, our history is written in the skyline of this suburb.
Today, we stand as the local authority on glass, committed to keeping South Brisbane safe, secure, and beautiful.
Our Specialised Glass Equipment And Fleet
To deliver the best results, we invest heavily in the latest glazing technology. We own all our equipment, meaning we never have to wait on rental companies to get your job done.
Custom Glass Transport Trucks
We own and maintain a fleet of purpose-built vehicles equipped with external A-frame racking systems. This allows us to transport jumbo sheets of glass and heavy double-glazed units safely through the tight, winding streets of Highgate Hill and the busy traffic of South Brisbane without risk of breakage or scratching.
Mobile Cutting and Processing Stations
Our trucks are fitted with mobile cutting tables and edge-polishing tools. This capability allows us to make precise adjustments on-site, ensuring a perfect fit for out-of-square window frames often found in older post-war homes in the area.
Laser Levelling Technology
For frameless shower screens and glass balustrades, precision is non-negotiable. We utilise advanced laser levelling equipment to ensure every pane of glass is perfectly plumb and aligned, ensuring smooth operation and long-term structural integrity.
Commercial Suction Lifters
Handling heavy architectural glass requires more than just muscle; it requires the right gear. Our team utilises industrial-grade vacuum suction lifters to safely manoeuvre heavy glass panels into place, particularly for high-end residential projects and commercial shopfronts.
PPE and Safety Barricades
Safety is paramount. We travel with full safety barricades and signage to secure the work area, protecting pedestrians on busy South Brisbane footpaths while we carry out repairs or installations.
Reliability and Precision: Why Locals Trust Us
We know that hiring a tradesperson can often be a source of anxiety. Homeowners in South Brisbane often tell us horror stories of trades turning up late. We built our business to be the complete antithesis of that experience.
Punctuality is our promise
We know your time is valuable. We give accurate arrival windows and call you when we are on the way.
Respect for Your Home
We operate with a strict 'clean boots, clean site' policy. We carry industrial vacuums to leave your property spotless.
Transparent Pricing
Many competitors hide costs. We provide detailed, upfront quotes so there are no nasty surprises.
Friendly Professionalism
You get a dedicated member of our team who knows the local area and treats your home as their own.
Meet The Team
Qualified Master Glaziers, Not Sub-Contractors
The quality of our work is entirely dependent on the skill of our hands. That is why we do not farm our work out to random sub-contractors. Every member of the South Brisbane Glazing Team is a directly employed, fully qualified glazier or a supervised apprentice working towards their trade certificate.
We believe in the traditional values of apprenticeship and mentorship. Our senior glaziers have decades of experience working with the specific humidity and structural movements typical of Queensland homes.
Regular training on latest Australian Standards
Experts in heritage timber window frame retrofitting
No unqualified juniors for critical installations
Fully Licensed, Insured, and AS1288 Compliant
We do not cut corners when it comes to safety. The glazing industry is strictly regulated for a reason—glass can be dangerous if not installed correctly.
We operate strictly in accordance with AS1288 (Australian Standard for the selection and installation of glass in buildings). This means we never install non-safety glass in critical areas like doors or shower screens.
We are fully licensed with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC), and we carry comprehensive public liability insurance to protect your property and our staff.

Deeply Rooted in South Brisbane and West End
Servicing the 4101 area requires specific local knowledge that outsiders simply don't have. We understand the nuances of working in this dense, diverse precinct.
We know that renovating a pre-1946 Queenslander in West End requires a delicate touch and often specific glass types to match the heritage aesthetic, such as textured or obscure glass.
