Ways we can help in Lockerbie
Glass Balustrades in Lockerbie
Toughened glass can occasionally break without impact because of tiny nickel sulphide inclusions. Heat soak testing to BS EN 14179 reduces that risk by breaking flawed panels in the factory, but it does not remove it entirely, which is one more reason laminated glass is used in guarding.
Bespoke Mirrors in Lockerbie
A bonded mirror follows the surface behind it, so an uneven wall can bend the reflection. We check flatness at survey, and on uneven plaster or stone walls the mirror may need a flat backing board or the wall levelling first to avoid a wavy, distorted image.
Composite Doors in Lockerbie
Most composite doors use a multi-point lock: one turn of the key throws hooks, rollers or bolts into keeps along the frame. The euro cylinder is the weak point on many older doors, so look for one tested against snapping, such as a TS 007 3-star kitemarked or Sold Secure SS312 Diamond cylinder.

Glazing in Lockerbie: 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.
Can you match my existing glass?
In most cases, yes. We can match common obscure patterns, Georgian bars, leaded designs and tints, and we will tell you on the survey if an exact match is not available and what the closest option is.
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.
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.
