- Building rules

Ways we can help in Ilkeston
Window Film in Ilkeston
Frosted and decorative films give privacy while letting daylight through, much like etched or sandblasted glass. They suit bathrooms, front door side panels, ground-floor windows and office partitions, and can be cut into bands, patterns, logos or lettering. They can usually be removed later without damaging the glass.
Aluminium Windows in Ilkeston
Aluminium windows can be fitted with trickle vents in the frame head, which matters because in England, Approved Document F expects ventilation after window replacement to be no worse than before. The glazier records the existing vents at survey and sizes new ones to suit each room.
Glass Roofs in Ilkeston
Glass roofs need regular cleaning from safe access, never by standing on non-walk-on glass. Silicone joints between panes should be inspected for splits, gutters and outlets kept clear, and any chips or scratches on walk-on panels checked, because the top layer is designed to protect the layers below.

Glazing in Ilkeston: questions
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.
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.
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.
Do you only replace glass, or whole windows too?
Both. Many problems, such as a cracked pane, a misted sealed unit or a broken hinge, can be fixed without replacing the frame. When a frame is rotten, warped or past repair, we quote for new uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect windows and doors instead, and we say which option makes more sense for your property.
Do you cover Ilkeston?
Yes. We cover Ilkeston and the surrounding Derbyshire area, including postcode districts DE7 and NG10. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
