They appear to stock a wide range of glass types on-site. For complex custom work like reeded glass or heritage matching, allow more time or call ahead to confirm availability.
Do they handle emergency glass repairs?+
Yes, they offer emergency callouts with impressive response times. One customer got replacement mirrors within 4 hours of a 7am call just before Christmas. Kevin and his team are specifically mentioned for short-notice window repairs. Their emergency service appears more reliable than their scheduled site visit appointments based on review patterns.
Are they experienced with heritage and antique glass work?+
Absolutely - this seems to be a specialty. Craftsman Gary is praised for replacing glass in antique cupboards, Daniel creates custom period doors with specialty features, and Paul matches existing lead light glass. Multiple customers mention their expertise with older Queensland properties and their ability to source glass that matches original specifications.
What do customers say about Suburban Glass's pricing?+
Reviews mention reasonable and affordable pricing, with one customer paying just $22 for a quick cut.
