- Building rules
- In England, replacing a whole window, roof window or glazed external door is building work. It has to be notified to building control, either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass, or through a building notice to the council. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is a repair and is not notifiable.
Ways we can help in Ross-on-Wye
Aluminium Windows in Ross-on-Wye
Aluminium windows can be fitted with trickle vents in the frame head, which matters because in England, Approved Document F expects ventilation after window replacement to be no worse than before. The glazier records the existing vents at survey and sizes new ones to suit each room.
Safety Glass in Ross-on-Wye
When measuring for a replacement panel, measure the opening or old glass in at least two places for width and height, and note the thickness. For anything with holes, curves or angled corners, a hardboard or card template gives the most reliable result.
Shopfront Glazing in Ross-on-Wye
The same guidance in England asks for an accessible entrance to have a level threshold or, where a raised threshold cannot be avoided, one no more than 15mm high in total, with a level landing in front of the door at least 1500mm by 1500mm clear of the door swing.

Glazing in Ross-on-Wye: 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.
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.
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 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.
