Ways we can help in Harwich
Sash Windows in Harwich
Slim double glazed units let sash windows keep fine glazing bars and traditional proportions while improving thermal performance. Bars can be true divisions with individual units, or bars bonded to both faces of a single unit with a spacer bar between the panes, which looks very similar from a short distance.
Secondary Glazing in Harwich
If an existing window is relied on for escape in a fire, the secondary glazing in front of it must open easily and give enough clear opening. The surveyor checks which windows are escape windows, so the opening style and catches do not block a way out.
Shower Screens in Harwich
Shower screen glass is toughened safety glass made to BS EN 12150. It is heated and then quickly cooled during manufacture, which makes it much stronger than ordinary glass and means that if it does break, it breaks into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.

Glazing in Harwich: questions
What should I do if a window has just broken?
Keep people and pets away from the glass, wear thick gloves if you need to move anything, and call us. We can arrange boarding or temporary glazing to make the opening safe, then measure for permanent glass. If there has been a break-in, report it to the police and note the reference for your insurer.
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.
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.
