Ways we can help in Thamesmead
Bifold Doors in Thamesmead
The number of panels sets how the doors open. Odd numbers, such as three or five panels, usually include a traffic door that opens on its own for everyday use. Even numbers can split to both sides. Panels can fold inwards or outwards, and outward folding keeps the room clear.
Curtain Walling in Thamesmead
Wind load on a facade rises with height, exposure and building shape, and it decides the mullion size, bracket design and glass thickness. Calculations for the specific site are part of the design, so a system suited to a sheltered ground-floor screen may not suit an exposed upper storey.
Composite Doors in Thamesmead
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 Thamesmead: questions
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 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 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.
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.
