Ways we can help in Stornoway
Frameless Glass in Stornoway
Fixed glass screens are held in slim channels or clamps at the floor, walls and ceiling, and the head fixing needs something solid to bite into. Walls and ceilings are rarely perfectly square, so templating records the true shape and the glass is made to follow it, keeping gaps even.
Sliding Doors in Stornoway
Sliding doors can have a raised sill for weather resistance or a low, flush track for near level access between floor and patio. Flush tracks need good drainage outside and some shelter, and on exposed elevations a slightly raised threshold usually keeps water out more reliably.
Secondary Glazing in Stornoway
Owners of listed buildings should seek listed building consent before installing secondary glazing, as the requirements depend on the building and the council. Secondary glazing is often seen as a minimal, reversible change, but carrying out works that need consent without it is a criminal offence.

Glazing in Stornoway: questions
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.
What should I do if a window has just broken?
Keep people and pets away from the glass, wear thick gloves if you need to move anything, and call us. We can arrange boarding or temporary glazing to make the opening safe, then measure for permanent glass. If there has been a break-in, report it to the police and note the reference for your insurer.
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.
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.
