What you can post
Start with the outcome you need.
These are live glazing job types on Sortd. Your brief can be edited before it reaches professionals.
Window pane replacement
Replace cracked or broken glass once the frame, pane type and dimensions are understood.
Misted double-glazed unit replacement
Describe condensation trapped between panes and share photos of the full window and frame.
Mirror installation
Include mirror dimensions, weight if known and the wall material or intended location.
Glass splashback installation
Share the wall dimensions, socket or cut-out positions and whether the splashback is already supplied.
A better brief
Give professionals enough to choose well.
Useful detail reduces back-and-forth and makes it easier to judge timing, access and the likely scope.
Photograph the whole frame
A close-up shows the damage; a wider image helps explain the opening style, frame material and access.
Add approximate measurements
Width and height help with early scoping. A professional may still need to take final manufacturing measurements.
Describe safe access
Mention the floor level, internal and external access, nearby furniture and any parking or loading restrictions.
How Sortd works
From plain-English request to a clear booking.
- 01
Describe the job
Tell Jack what happened, where the job is and when you need it. He shapes the details into an editable brief.
- 02
A professional chooses it
Relevant local professionals can review the scope, timing and offered rate before accepting or proposing a change.
- 03
Review, book and track
Confirm the professional, rate, minimum and service fee, then keep messages, completion and payment together.
Before work starts
Keep people clear of damaged glass
Do not handle an unstable pane or leave broken glass accessible. Keep the area clear and explain in the brief whether the opening is exposed, boarded or otherwise secure.
