- Building rules

Ways we can help in Salford
Roof Lanterns in Salford
A roof lantern is assembled from an aluminium ridge, hip bars and glazing bars that hold sealed glass units on each pitch. It sits on an upstand built around the roof opening. The upstand should be level, weathered into the roof covering and insulated, because a poor upstand causes most leaks and cold spots.
Bifold Doors in Salford
Bifold doors run on rollers along a track, either top-hung with the weight carried by the head or bottom-rolling with the weight on the threshold. Top-hung systems depend on a strong, stiff lintel or steel above, so the glazier checks support before ordering, because sagging heads cause doors to bind.
Misted Glass Repair in Salford
Replacing a misted unit is usually a short job per window once the new unit has been made. The old unit is lifted out, the frame rebate and drainage cleaned, and the new unit set on packers so the weight is supported and any opening sash stays square.

Glazing in Salford: questions
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.
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.
Can landlords and managing agents open an account?
Yes. We can work with landlords, letting agents, housing providers and facilities teams on reactive glass replacement and planned glazing work, with a written quote per job and photos of the finished work on request.
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.
Do you cover Salford?
Yes. We cover Salford and the surrounding Greater Manchester area, including postcode districts M6, M5 and M3. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
