- Building rules
- 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.
Ways we can help in Rochdale
Bespoke Mirrors in Rochdale
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.
Glass Roofs in Rochdale
Fixed frameless rooflights sit on a flat roof upstand with the glass edge overhanging the kerb, so from inside you see only sky and plaster. The upstand must be level, insulated and weathered into the roof covering, and the roof needs a fall so water drains off the glass.
Bifold Doors in Rochdale
Bifold doors are glazed down to floor level, so every pane needs safety glass. In England, Approved Document K treats glazing in doors within 1500mm of the floor as a critical location. Units are usually toughened, with laminated glass added where extra security or protection against falls is wanted.

Glazing in Rochdale: questions
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.
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.
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.
Do you cover Rochdale?
