Ways we can help in Torquay
Glass Balustrades in Torquay
Glass guarding must resist the horizontal loads set for how the space is used, and those loads rise from a private home to offices, shops and busy public areas. Glass thickness, fixing system and anchors are matched to that load, so a system suited to a house stair may not suit a bar terrace.
Shower Screens in Torquay
Glass-to-wall and glass-to-glass hinges suit most doors, and pivot hinges let a door swing from a point set in from the edge. Doors normally open outwards, so check the swing clears the toilet, basin and bathroom door before choosing a layout.
Replacement Glass in Torquay
The price of replacement glass depends mainly on the size of the pane, the glass type and thickness, whether it is a single pane or sealed unit, special features such as bars or leaded designs, and access. Upper-floor panes that need ladders, towers or extra hands cost more to fit.

Glazing in Torquay: questions
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 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.
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.
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.
