A & B Glassworks

This shop is part glass and mirror shop and part framing service. I’ve had some weird interactions with both sides of the business, but I persevere because they’re just down the road.
When I needed glass replacing in a window, I went in here for a quote and the guy exploded at me in anger for not coming in earlier in the day. I’ve never been told off before for being late as a customer! Anyone would think he was employing me, rather than the other way round!
I used them anyway and they sent another guy round who replaced the window glass very quickly, so I don’t know what all the fuss was about. (I suspect it had something to do with an afternoon football match.)
I have also used the framing service and got a print reframed here for £20-£25, which I was pleased with. But when I went in recently for a quote, the guy handling the framing side didn’t seem to know how to deal with more than one customer at once and just ignored me, even though the couple in front were busy browsing and he could easily have attended to me while they were making up their minds. I gave up waiting in the end and went home.
A word of warning: beware asking the glass guy about frames or vice versa. I once made that mistake and got told in no uncertain terms that they are not responsible for the other half’s business (a tad confusing as they share the shop, so how would you know?!). So watch out for shopkeepers with anger management issues!
A handy shop to have on your high street, nonetheless.
