- Building rules
- In England, replacing a whole window, roof window or glazed external door is building work. It has to be notified to building control, either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass, or through a building notice to the council. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is a repair and is not notifiable.
Ways we can help in Barnstaple
uPVC Windows in Barnstaple
uPVC window frames are made from extruded profiles with several internal chambers that trap air and slow heat loss. Larger frames, and those on exposed elevations, are usually reinforced with steel or aluminium inside the profile so they stay straight and the locks keep engaging properly over the years.
Property Glazing in Barnstaple
Glass replaced in doors, beside doors and at low level should be safety glass in critical locations. In England, Approved Document K sets out these locations. Recording that safety glass was fitted, and keeping the photo of its marking, helps show the property was kept safe.
Shower Screens in Barnstaple
Hinges carry the full weight of a glass door, so they must fix into solid backing. Tiled plasterboard or stud walls usually need timber noggins or suitable heavy-duty fixings behind the hinge positions, which is easier to arrange before tiling than afterwards.

Glazing in Barnstaple: 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.
How is the price worked out?
Price depends mainly on size, glass type (standard, toughened, laminated, acoustic or triple), access, and any extras such as obscure patterns or Georgian bars. The guide prices on this site show typical ranges. A glazier measures before anything is ordered, and your written quote fixes the price for the specification shown.
Is my information shared with anyone?
Your enquiry is used to arrange your survey and quote. It is handled by the S&K Group and the glazier assigned to your job, and is not sold to third parties. See the privacy policy for full details.
Do you handle commercial and shopfront work?
Yes. We quote for shopfront glass, security laminated glazing, office partitions, glazed screens and curtain walling, as well as reactive glass replacement for commercial premises.
