Ways we can help in Braintree
Glass Partitions in Braintree
Partition glass is safety glass because much of it sits in critical locations near floors and doors. In England, Approved Document K sets where glazing must break safely or be protected, and the other UK nations have equivalent guidance, so panels are toughened or laminated to suit their position.
Roof Lanterns in Braintree
In England, a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it projects no more than 150mm beyond the roof plane and is no higher than the highest part of the roof. Raised lanterns often stand taller than that, so check with the council before ordering.
Frameless Glass in Braintree
Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or notched once it has been toughened. Holes for patch fittings, cut-outs for locks and handles, and any shaped corners are all made before toughening, which is why we template the opening first and the glass is made to order rather than cut on site.

Glazing in Braintree: 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 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.
Can I cancel after accepting a quote?
If you contract at home or remotely, you normally have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Made-to-measure goods that have been made to your specification may not be cancellable once production starts; your quote and terms explain this clearly.
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.
Do you cover Braintree?
Yes. We cover Braintree and the surrounding Essex area, including postcode districts CM7 and CM77. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
