The older glaziers were recognised not only as the foundation of the business but also as the employees who maintained the quality of its products.
It took 20 minutes for a glazier to turn up to repair broken glass and it took 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.
The following building craftsmen are permanently employed: three carpenters, three plumbers, two painters, a locksmith and a glazier.
Do you not see what work it gives to the glazier?
When the carpenter leaves a tenant may have to wait weeks or months before the glazier puts the glass in the window.
The broken window would create work for the glazier.
In the registration in the autumn there were still 47,925 builders and contractors in existence, and 37,582 specialists, such as painters, glaziers, plumbers, etc.
