Rules and planning in Hertfordshire
Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.
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.
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.
Hertfordshire is inland, around 39 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.
Ways we can help in Hertfordshire
Bifold Doors in Hertfordshire
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.
Shower Screens in Hertfordshire
Hinges carry the full weight of a glass door, so they must fix into solid backing. Tiled plasterboard or stud walls usually need timber noggins or suitable heavy-duty fixings behind the hinge positions, which is easier to arrange before tiling than afterwards.
Emergency Glazing in Hertfordshire
Permanent glass is often made to order, especially toughened, laminated or sealed units, and cannot usually be cut from stock at the time. That is why emergency work is normally two visits: make safe now, then return to fit the permanent glass once it is ready.
Sash Windows in Hertfordshire
Sash windows that run smoothly need routine care: keep the pulley wheels free of paint, wax or lightly lubricate the running channels, check the cords for fraying, and repaint timber before bare wood shows. Draught brush seals in the beads and meeting rails reduce rattles and heat loss.
Glazing in Hertfordshire: 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 long does a job take?
Glass is made to measure, so there is usually a lead time between survey and fitting. Fitting a sealed unit is normally quick; new windows, doors and architectural glass take longer. Your quote gives the expected lead time and how long the fitting will take on site.
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 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.
Which towns in Hertfordshire do you cover?
We cover the whole of Hertfordshire, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City and Cheshunt, across postcode areas AL, CM, EN, HP, SG, WD. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we will confirm cover and arrange a free survey.
