About Glaziers
A glazier fits, replaces, and repairs glass in windows, doors, conservatories, and shopfronts - from emergency boarding and broken double-glazed units to bespoke glass installations.
Misted double-glazed units are a common problem in Scotland's climate and usually mean the seal has failed - a glazier can replace just the glass unit without replacing the whole frame.
For any work involving safety glass - shower screens, doors, low-level panels - make sure the glass used is toughened or laminated to the relevant British Standard.
About Balgay
Balgay is a residential area in the west of Dundee, centred on the ridge and parkland of Balgay Hill, which separates it from Lochee to the north.
Balgay Park is a Victorian cemetery and woodland park that runs along the hilltop and provides one of the city's quieter green spaces, along with the Mills Observatory — Britain's first purpose-built public observatory.
The surrounding streets are a mix of tenements and terraced housing, with good bus connections to both Lochee and the city centre, and easy walking distance of the West End's amenities.
About Dundee
Dundee City is a compact council area on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, covering Scotland's fourth-largest city and a narrow belt of suburbs stretching east to Broughty Ferry and west to Invergowrie.
The city has undergone one of the most dramatic transformations in urban Scotland, with the opening of V&A Dundee in 2018 anchoring a waterfront regeneration that has reshaped the city's image and economy.
Dundee has a long history of industry — jute, jam, and journalism were the famous 'three Js' — and that heritage has given way to strengths in life sciences, digital technology, and video games, with the city home to the studios that created Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.
The University of Dundee and Abertay University give the city a large student population and a research base that punches well above the city's weight, particularly in medical research, art, and design.
Despite its city status, Dundee is remarkably compact — most neighbourhoods are within a few miles of the centre, and the Tay Road Bridge, the railway station, and the A90 connect it quickly to Fife, Perth, and Aberdeen.
