Ways we can help in Bournemouth
Safety Glass in Bournemouth
Edge finish affects both look and safety. Arrised edges are lightly sanded to take off sharpness and suit glass held in frames. Polished edges are smooth and clear for exposed edges on tables, shelves and frameless panels. Bevelled edges add a decorative angled border.
Misted Glass Repair in Bournemouth
Replacing a misted unit is usually a short job per window once the new unit has been made. The old unit is lifted out, the frame rebate and drainage cleaned, and the new unit set on packers so the weight is supported and any opening sash stays square.
Replacement Glass in Bournemouth
In England, Approved Document K treats glass in a door or within 300mm of a door edge, up to 1500mm above the floor, and any other glass within 800mm of the floor as critical locations. Replacement glass in these areas should be safety glass, even where the old pane was not.

Glazing in Bournemouth: questions
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.
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.
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.
