Rules and planning in Kent
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.
Replacing windows and doors with similar ones is usually permitted development for houses in England. Flats, listed buildings and homes in conservation areas or covered by an Article 4 direction can need permission, so check with the council first.
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.
Kent has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief.
Ways we can help in Kent
Glass Balustrades in Kent
Where a building may be used by children under five, the guidance in England says guarding should not let a 100mm sphere pass through any opening and should not be easy to climb. Solid glass helps on both counts, but gaps between panels, posts, walls and the floor still need checking.
Window Repairs in Kent
The cost of a window or door repair depends on the part needed, whether it is a standard or discontinued design, how easy it is to identify the make, the number of windows or doors, and access. Discontinued hardware sometimes needs a modern equivalent and adaptation to fit.
Secondary Glazing in Kent
Slim aluminium frames are designed to sit within the window reveal and line up with the original glazing bars or meeting rails. Matching sightlines keeps the secondary unit discreet from outside and inside, which matters for period homes and conservation areas.
Emergency Glazing in Kent
Boarding is usually exterior-grade plywood or OSB cut to fit the opening and screwed into the frame or surrounding structure. For a secure fix, the board is fixed so it cannot simply be levered off from outside, and edges are kept tight to limit weather getting in.
Glazing in Kent: questions
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.
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.
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 only replace glass, or whole windows too?
Both. Many problems, such as a cracked pane, a misted sealed unit or a broken hinge, can be fixed without replacing the frame. When a frame is rotten, warped or past repair, we quote for new uPVC, aluminium or timber-effect windows and doors instead, and we say which option makes more sense for your property.
