Ways we can help in Preston
Window Film in Preston
Solar control films reflect or absorb part of the sun's heat before it reaches the room, which helps with overheating in south and west-facing rooms, conservatories and offices. Darker and more reflective films reject more heat, but they also let in less daylight and change the outside appearance.
Replacement Glass in Preston
Older sealed units often have plain float glass on both sides. A replacement unit can use a low-emissivity coated pane and a gas-filled cavity, which reduces heat loss through the glass without changing the frame. The coating faces into the cavity and is not noticeable in normal use.
Property Glazing in Preston
For workplaces, communal areas and offices, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations require windows, glazed doors and transparent partitions to be of safety material or protected against breakage where needed for health or safety, and to be marked so they are apparent.

Glazing in Preston: questions
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.
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some islands and remote areas are quoted by arrangement. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we will confirm cover before any visit is booked.
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 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.
Do you cover Preston?
