Ways we can help in Bolton
Bespoke Mirrors in Bolton
Black edges, often called edge creep, are corrosion of the silver layer, usually started by moisture or cleaning fluid getting into the edges, or by an unsuitable adhesive. Once the silver has corroded it cannot be restored, so the mirror has to be replaced.
Glass Splashbacks in Bolton
After templating, made-to-measure splashbacks are usually ready within a few weeks, depending on colour and finish. Fitting a typical kitchen takes part of a day, and the kitchen can normally be used again straight afterwards, though the silicone needs time to cure fully.
Frameless Glass in Bolton
In England, Approved Document K treats glazing in a door within 1500mm of the floor, glazing within 300mm of a door edge and within 1500mm of the floor, and other glazing within 800mm of the floor as critical locations. Glass in these positions must break safely or be suitably protected.

Glazing in Bolton: questions
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.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing just the glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows or glazed external doors is building work, and the rules on notification differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your quote explains what applies and how it will be handled.
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.
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 cover Bolton?
Yes. We cover Bolton and the surrounding Greater Manchester area, including postcode districts BL1, BL3 and BL2. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
