Ways we can help in Whitstable
Roof Lanterns in Whitstable
In England, a rooflight on a house is usually permitted development if it projects no more than 150mm beyond the roof plane and is no higher than the highest part of the roof. Raised lanterns often stand taller than that, so check with the council before ordering.
Window Film in Whitstable
Workplace regulations require windows, glazed doors and transparent partitions to be of safety material or protected against breakage where needed for health or safety. On existing glass in a workplace, a suitable tested safety film is one way of protecting it without replacing the pane.
Curtain Walling in Whitstable
Building regulations require external walls to limit the spread of fire, so curtain walling design has to consider how its materials react to fire and how fire could pass between floors. The requirements depend on the building's height and use, and differ between the UK nations.

Glazing in Whitstable: 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.
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.
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.
