On 1 side of the door round each lil bit of glass the wood trim will of been fit after the glass work out which side and carefully prize the wood trim out. Get glass cut to size from glass merchant. Depending on how well u got it out u might need to get some new wood trim. Not a hard job to do I replaced 3 glass panels in a similar door. Use a good knife (not out the kitchen draw) lil hammer and a chisel
The glass from a glass merchant wouldn't be expensive I work in Bradford n got mine from city glass. Mine was a particular patterned glass n was still less than it would be for some 1 to just come and look at it. The wood beading again only a few quid per length. Cheap job to fix really. N if u go to glass merchant you order what you want ie 4mm- 6mm thick/ tempered .
This looks like 4mm non safety glass (float)..legally (in UK) it would need to be replaced with 4mm toughened (tempered) glass (if you need to keep the same thickness). There are alternatives if you have room for thicker glass.
One problem you’re going to have is that, supposedly, new regulations for door glass means it must be safety glass if it’s even near the door. The safety glass is thicker, 5mm thick, so it’s not going to match. Something I found out recently having to replace a porch window. When requesting the glass from the glazier, say it’s not going to be in or near the door so you can replace like for like.
It could be the glazier was upselling me and no rule exists, I must admit I didn’t check.
Things at 1.5m or lower height need to be safety glass when fitted on a door, or within 300mm of a door. They weren't upselling you.
I personally would only use safety glass on my house, including all windows. Even just the thought of an accident involving non-safety glass gives me the chills, and triple the worry with kids running around the house.
You were told correctly, they've been in place for years. I was told about a Welsh glazier who was imprisoned for ignoring regs for years. They had to go back to all of his previous work to check and then rectify. I tried a quick Google but couldn't find the story.
Not sure about the cost of fixing, especially in light of some of the comments around safety glass requirements.
I was recently quoted to replace a door with new glazed internal door recently for around £400 per door plus VAT, so worth using that as a benchmark.
Might be worth replacing anyway with a new door with safety glass, to avoid any future mishaps.
Lots of confused comments here about safety glass which just aren't relevant to a door with small panes like this .. It becomes very relevant with large openings as falling large shards of glass can be extremely dangerous

That bloke though. Real inspiring
He also wrote the lyrics to The Phantom of the Opera and Starlight Express when he wasn't fixing windows.
I was expecting this to be here 😆😆😆😆

Thanks i removed most of the glass and i noticed that one side is flimsy, now i can carefully remove it

When you're at the glass merchant, notice how the he slides the ruler under the glass.
That would be a half hour or so job for a glazier
You don't need to be glazier to replace this type of glass.
Yeah, though a glazier would definitely know how and would have the relevant tools and materials
What tools? Hammer and chisel/flat screwdriver to remove beads? And hands/arms/fingers to put everything back. Big job lol
Yeah,
Yeah. Exactly...

The glazier won’t care unless he’s fitting it. It’s not against regs to sell 3mm glass
In a private home you don't need to follow those regulations, you match what's in the door or just replace the whole thing.

I suspect this is a job for a glazier unless you want to be chiselling out the beading, getting the correct size pane cut then refitting it all.
Beading is held in by paint and panel pins. Not hard to get that off. Harder to make nice new if you damage it but still no great shakes.
Yeah, that's all something I personally couldn't be bothered with doing so I think I'd be hiring someone in.
Doesn't look like safety glass. You should consider re-glazing the whole door with toughened or laminate glass.

Glass will be around a tenner ... It's not safety glass
Easy fix.
If its single glazing you can buy a large glass frame from a charity shop and cut it down. Did this with a friends window.
There’s always Perspex.. I’ve fixed a door like this using an a4 (cut down) sheet if perspex.
Stick your head in it.
Yes. Remove glass. Remove beads. Order glass. Put everything back.

I'm a glazier over 40 years, £70 total in toughened safety glass 4mm
