About Us

CHB Glass & Garage Doors is a testament to local hard work, technical skill, and a commitment to the Central Hawke's Bay community.

The business is owned and operated by Glenn Spotswood, a trade veteran with over 30 years of experience in the glazing and garage door industries. What began as a small operation in Waipawa has grown and evolved, eventually relocating to our current, larger premises on Takapau Road in Waipukurau. This move has allowed us to expand our capabilities and better serve our growing client base with a wider range of products and services.

Glenn's journey in the industry has been defined by a hands on approach to problem solving.

When it comes to glass and garage doors, there is very little he has not seen. From complex commercial glazing projects to tricky residential retrofits, Glenn brings a wealth of practical knowledge to every job. This experience is invaluable when diagnosing issues, recommending the right products, and ensuring that installations are performed to the highest standards. He has built a reputation not just for his technical ability, but for his honest advice and straightforward communication.

At the heart of our business philosophy is the belief that quality workmanship speaks for itself.

We do not just install products; we provide solutions that stand the test of time. Whether it is fitting a security screen, replacing a broken window, or installing a state of the art sectional garage door, we approach every task with the same level of attention to detail. We understand that inviting a tradesperson into your home requires trust. That is why we make it a priority to be punctual, polite, and respectful of your space. Glenn is known for being handy with a brush and shovel, ensuring that when the job is done, the site is left spotless.

Our
Team

Our team is small but dedicated, allowing us to maintain strict quality control over every project. We are proud to support the local economy and build lasting relationships with our customers. Many of our clients have been with us for years, returning to us for new projects or recommending us to friends and family. This loyalty is the driving force behind our business and motivates us to continually improve our service offering.

We are also deeply committed to safety and compliance. All our glazing work meets current New Zealand standards, ensuring the safety of your family and the longevity of your installation. In the garage door sector, we adhere to strict safety protocols, particularly when dealing with high tension springs and heavy door panels. We want our customers to have total peace of mind knowing that their home is in safe hands.

Living and working in Central Hawke’s Bay means we understand the specific needs of the region, from the local climate conditions that affect glazing choices to the architectural styles prevalent in our towns. We are not just a service provider; we are your neighbours. We take great pride in contributing to the improvement of local homes and businesses.
