Our Story

Building a Legacy in Glass

Paddington Glazier is where local craftsmanship meets modern innovation. As the premier Paddington Glaziers, we have spent over two decades servicing the unique glass needs of this community, evolving from a one-man operation into the region's most trusted glazing team.

Our story began twenty years ago with a single ute, a toolbox, and a commitment to showing up on time. We saw a gap in the market for reliable, high-quality tradespeople who truly understood the architectural nuances of Brisbane's inner-west.

Over the years, we have grown alongside the suburb itself. We have watched Paddington transform, seeing classic Queenslanders restored to their former glory and modern architectural marvels rise on the ridges of Red Hill. Through it all, our core mission has remained unchanged: to provide exceptional glass solutions with good old-fashioned service.

We are not a franchise, and we are not a call centre. When you ring us, you are speaking to the people who own the trucks and cut the glass. We take immense pride in our work, treating every installation as if it were in our own home.

Our Dedicated Fleet and Specialized Equipment

Being a professional glazing company means investing in the best tools for the job. We do not rely on rental equipment or third-party logistics. By owning our own state-of-the-art machinery and fleet, we maintain full control over the quality and timeline of every project.

Custom A-Frame Glass Trucks

We own a fleet of purpose-built vehicles equipped with external and internal A-frames. This allows us to transport large sheets of glass, including oversized shopfront panels and heavy laminated safety glass, safely through the steep and narrow streets of Paddington and Red Hill without risk of damage.

Precision Mobile Cutting Tables

Each of our trucks is fitted with mobile cutting stations. While we do the majority of our heavy processing at our workshop, these mobile units allow us to make millimetre-perfect adjustments on-site. This is critical for older homes where door frames and window sills may have shifted over time.

Laser Levelling Technology

To ensure absolute precision, especially for frameless glass balustrades and shower screens, we utilize advanced laser levelling tools. This guarantees that your glass is installed perfectly plumb and level, ensuring longevity and smooth operation of hinges and sliding mechanisms.

Glazing Robots and Lifting Gear

For heavy commercial jobs or second-story residential installations, we utilize mechanical glass lifters. This protects our staff from injury and ensures that heavy double-glazed units are manoeuvred into place with extreme care and accuracy.

Why Locals Choose Us Over the Rest

We know the frustration that comes with hiring tradespeople. All too often, homeowners in Paddington and Milton deal with contractors who arrive late, leave a mess, or add hidden costs to the final bill. We founded our business on the principle that you deserve better.

We turn up when we say we will.

We understand that inviting a tradesperson into your home requires trust, and we work hard every day to earn and keep that trust.

We turn up when we say we will.

It sounds simple, but it is the cornerstone of our service. If we are running five minutes late due to traffic on Given Terrace, you will get a call. We respect your time and your schedule.

Transparency & Care

Furthermore, we believe in transparency. Our quotes are detailed and upfront, meaning there are no nasty surprises when the job is done. We price fairly for top-tier work, ensuring you get value without compromising on quality. Cleanliness is another non-negotiable for our team. Glass work can be messy, but we ensure it never impacts your living space. We carry our own vacuum cleaners, use drop sheets to protect your timber floors, and sweep up every shard before we leave.

A business is only as good as its people, and we believe we have the best team in Brisbane. Unlike other companies that rely on a rotating roster of subcontractors, we employ our staff directly.

Safety is not an option; it is a requirement.

Every piece of glass we install is selected to meet the specific safety requirements of its location, whether it is toughened safety glass for a bathroom or laminated glass for a front door.

We are fully licensed with the QBCC and hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.

This protects you, your property, and our staff.

We do not cut corners on compliance.

When we finish a job, you can rest easy knowing that the glass in your home is safe, legal, and installed to the highest industry standards.

Building Considerations in Paddington and Red Hill

Paddington is not just a service area to us; it is our backyard. We understand the specific challenges and beauty of building in this area. We know that installing a splashback in a renovated worker's cottage on a steep block in Red Hill requires a different approach than fitting a mirror in a modern apartment complex in Milton.

We appreciate the community spirit here, and we strive to contribute to it by being the reliable local experts you can turn to. We understand the local council regulations regarding pool fencing and balustrades in this specific terrain, ensuring your project is not only beautiful but also fully compliant with local laws.
