Ways we can help in Broadstairs
Bespoke Mirrors in Broadstairs
Black edges, often called edge creep, are corrosion of the silver layer, usually started by moisture or cleaning fluid getting into the edges, or by an unsuitable adhesive. Once the silver has corroded it cannot be restored, so the mirror has to be replaced.
Sliding Doors in Broadstairs
Making an opening wider for new sliding doors is structural work that needs building control approval and a correctly sized lintel or steel. Replacing doors in the existing opening is simpler. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas may also need planning or other consent for the change.
Secondary Glazing in Broadstairs
Secondary glazing can also add security, because an intruder would have to break through two separate windows. Laminated glass and locking catches on the secondary unit add further resistance, which is useful for ground-floor and basement windows in period properties.

Glazing in Broadstairs: 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 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.
Who will actually do the work?
Work is carried out by glaziers working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with. Your quote names the company, the specification and the guarantee terms.
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.
