Thank you Sean, Excellent service. Delighted with the three glass tabletops we purchased. Very Highly Recommended Additional Purchase March 31, 2022 Managed to shatter the oven door glass. Replacement no longer available from cooker manufacturer. One phone call to Sean and problem sorted. New glass cut and toughened. Perfect fit. Can't rate the service highly enough - I wish more companies treated their customers as well as this one!

The last storm blew out 3 sheets of glass from my greenhouse. Delivery from GB was stupid money. I found All Purpose Glazing online. I called and talked to their staff about my needs. I ordered and collected the toughen green house glass in less than a week from ordering. Reasonably priced, good quality glass. The toughened glass makes all the difference and its great to have a local business that supplies to the public. The staff were a pleasure to deal with - polite and very knowledgeable, providing some great advice which I am very grateful for.

Great service from this firm. Cut glass for new nest of coffee tables. I didn't realise they did domestic work but Sean assured me it was not a problem. True to his word the glass was perfect. Would strongly Recommend this company.

After being let down by another company, these guys had me sorted within 1 week. As it was obscure toughened glass for a caravan door, it had to be ordered in. I was kept up to date by phone throughout the process. Collected the door with the glass fitted and all. Highly recommended for whatever your glass needs. Service: General door repair

Had an accident where I broke my 2 salon mirrors. Took them into Sean and he got the frames replaced straight away. He was so helpful right from the off. I'm delighted with them and the service, they look amazing.

Brilliant service! Talked to Sean and he was very helpful with all his knowledge & checked with the window installers for second opinion if not 100% sure himself. Highly recommend this company! I will be doing business again in the near future. Service: Glass restoration & repair

This is the "GO TO" source in the N.W. for quality greenhouse glass replacement. I ordered 4 mm toughened Safety Glass last week, cut to an irregular shape, collected it today and all fitted 2 hours later in Letterkenny. Excellent service from highly professional people. Please specify toughened glass when ordering glass for your greenhouse. For very little extra cost you get great peace of mind.

Sean, Thanks for all you help with Georgian Wired Glass, even though you couldn't supply me with glass required (not cost effective to send to Scotland). You went above and beyond and sourced local suppliers to me. I would definitely recommend your company in the future to anyone over the water. Thanks again G

Sean spent a considerable amount of time on the phone, explaining in detail the likely cause of my issue and recommending suitable ways in which to remedy it. He was both reassuring and informative, and followed up the conversation with an email containing further details. Many thanks!

I have got three mirrors cut by APG recently - one for our bedroom and the other two to put at the back of units in our living room. Sean was more than helpful. The mirrors were done really quickly. We will use them again if we need any glass or mirrors and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
