- Building rules
- Approved Document L sets the minimum energy performance for replacement windows and doors in existing homes in England: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, or Window Energy Rating band B for windows; doors can instead meet a Door Set Energy Rating (band B, or band C for doors more than 60% glazed); rooflights need 2.2 W/m²K.
Ways we can help in Cambridge
Sliding Doors in Cambridge
Security on sliding doors depends on multi-point hook locks that grip the frame, anti-lift blocks that stop panels being lifted off the track, internally glazed beads and an anti-snap cylinder. Older patio doors without anti-lift protection can sometimes be lifted out, so ask whether the system is tested to PAS 24.
Property Glazing in Cambridge
After each job, you receive photos of the before and after condition, the glass specification fitted, and a short note of any other defects seen. This creates a record for the property file, supports insurance claims and can help when deposits or disputes need evidence.
Glass Partitions in Cambridge
Partition glass is safety glass because much of it sits in critical locations near floors and doors. In England, Approved Document K sets where glazing must break safely or be protected, and the other UK nations have equivalent guidance, so panels are toughened or laminated to suit their position.

Glazing in Cambridge: questions
How long does a job take?
Glass is made to measure, so there is usually a lead time between survey and fitting. Fitting a sealed unit is normally quick; new windows, doors and architectural glass take longer. Your quote gives the expected lead time and how long the fitting will take on site.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
Can you match my existing glass?
In most cases, yes. We can match common obscure patterns, Georgian bars, leaded designs and tints, and we will tell you on the survey if an exact match is not available and what the closest option is.
What happens to the old glass?
We take away the old glass and packaging and dispose of it responsibly. If you would like anything kept, such as original leaded panels, tell us before the work starts.
Do you cover Cambridge?
Yes. We cover Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area, including postcode districts CB2, CB4 and CB1. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
