Ways we can help in Eccles
Bifold Doors in Eccles
In England, replacement doors with more than 60% of the internal face glazed should achieve a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or a Doorset Energy Rating of band C under Approved Document L. New openings in extensions are assessed with the whole extension, and large glazed areas may need energy calculations.
Glass Partitions in Eccles
In workplaces in England, Wales and Scotland, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require glass in partitions and doors to be of safety material or protected where needed for safety, and to be marked or otherwise made apparent so people do not walk into it.
Bespoke Mirrors in Eccles
To protect the edges, spray glass cleaner onto a soft cloth rather than directly onto the mirror, so liquid does not run down and soak into the bottom edge. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners, and dry the edges after cleaning in bathrooms.

Glazing in Eccles: questions
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.
How do payment and deposits work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote. For made-to-measure items a deposit may be requested before ordering, and the quote explains when the balance is due.
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.
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.
