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 Carron
Carron is a village on the River Carron to the north of Falkirk, inseparably linked to the Carron Company ironworks founded here in 1759.
The Carron Company was one of the most important industrial enterprises in Scottish history, pioneering new methods of iron smelting and producing the carronade — a short-range naval cannon that became a standard weapon of the Royal Navy.
Little remains of the original ironworks today, but the village retains its name and its position on the river, with a mix of older cottages and modern housing.
Carron sits between Larbert and Denny with good access to Falkirk town centre, and the River Carron provides a pleasant walking route through the surrounding landscape.
About Falkirk
(opens in new tab)Falkirk is a council area in the heart of Scotland's central belt, sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow with the Firth of Forth to the north and the foothills of the Campsie Fells to the west.
The town of Falkirk is the administrative centre and largest settlement, but the area also takes in Grangemouth — Scotland's largest petrochemical complex and one of its busiest ports — along with the historic burgh of Bo'ness on the Forth shoreline and a string of smaller towns and villages.
Falkirk's history runs deep: two of the most significant battles in the Wars of Independence were fought here, and the Antonine Wall — the Roman Empire's north-western frontier — crosses the district and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The area has reinvented itself around modern landmarks: the Falkirk Wheel, the world's only rotating boat lift, and the Kelpies, two 30-metre steel horse-head sculptures at the Helix park, draw visitors from around the world.
Transport links are excellent — the M9 and M876 connect Falkirk to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling, and two railway lines serve the area — making it one of the most accessible and affordable parts of the central belt.
