Ways we can help in Billingham
Frameless Glass in Billingham
The guidance in England asks for glass meeting Class 3 of BS EN 12600 in most critical locations, and the higher Class 2 where a door or door side panel is more than 900mm wide. Toughened glass for doors is made to suit, and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own guidance.
Curtain Walling in Billingham
Under the energy rules for new work in England, curtain walling performance is assessed for the whole system, including frames and opaque infill panels, not just the glass. Solar gain through the glass is also considered, so the glass choice balances heat loss, overheating and daylight.
Shopfront Glazing in Billingham
Under the Equality Act 2010 in England, Wales and Scotland, businesses serving the public must make reasonable adjustments, which can include physical changes such as a ramp where the only entrance is a step. Northern Ireland has its own disability discrimination law, so the duties there differ.

Glazing in Billingham: questions
Is the survey really free?
Yes, for new glazing and glass replacement. Measuring and quoting costs you nothing and there is no obligation to go ahead. If a visit is only to diagnose or repair a fault, or to board up a broken window, we tell you before booking whether a charge applies. Once you accept a quote, the price on it is the price for that specification, and any extra work is agreed with you in writing first.
Who will actually do the work?
Work is carried out by glaziers working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with. Your quote names the company, the specification and the guarantee terms.
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.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing just the glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows or glazed external doors is building work, and the rules on notification differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your quote explains what applies and how it will be handled.
Do you cover Billingham?
Yes. We cover Billingham and the surrounding County Durham area, including postcode districts TS23. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
