Rules and planning in Greater London

In England, replacing a whole window, roof window or glazed external door is building work. It has to be notified to building control, either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass, or through a building notice to the council. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is a repair and is not notifiable.

Approved Document L sets the minimum energy performance for replacement windows and doors in existing homes in England: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, or Window Energy Rating band B for windows; doors can instead meet a Door Set Energy Rating (band B, or band C for doors more than 60% glazed); rooflights need 2.2 W/m²K.

Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.

Parts of Greater London are within about 15 km of the coast, where exposure to wind and salt air is worth planning for.

Ways we can help in Greater London

Bespoke Mirrors in Greater London

In bathrooms, good ventilation does more to protect a mirror than anything else, because steam and condensation reach the edges and backing. A heated demister pad behind the mirror keeps it clear after showers, but it needs wiring by a qualified electrician.

Shopfront Glazing in Greater London

Some councils' shopfront guidance discourages solid external roller shutters and grilles, and in England external security measures that change the frontage's appearance usually need planning permission. Laminated security glass or internal open-mesh grilles are often considered as alternatives that keep the window display visible.

Window Repairs in Greater London

The cost of a window or door repair depends on the part needed, whether it is a standard or discontinued design, how easy it is to identify the make, the number of windows or doors, and access. Discontinued hardware sometimes needs a modern equivalent and adaptation to fit.

Sash Windows in Greater London

Security on sash windows comes from keyed sash locks at the meeting rails, sash stops that limit the opening for ventilation and child safety, laminated glass, and close-fitting staff and parting beads. Ground-floor sashes in older houses are often the weakest point, so locks are worth upgrading during replacement.

Glazing in Greater London: questions

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.

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.

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.

Who will actually do the work?

Work is carried out by glaziers working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with. Your quote names the company, the specification and the guarantee terms.
