Rules and planning in Merseyside
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 L sets the minimum energy performance for replacement windows and doors in existing homes in England: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, or Window Energy Rating band B for windows; doors can instead meet a Door Set Energy Rating (band B, or band C for doors more than 60% glazed); rooflights need 2.2 W/m²K.
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.
Merseyside 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 Merseyside
Window Film in Merseyside
On large glass doors and screens in shops and offices, manifestation markings help people see the glass. In England, Approved Document K shows manifestation at two height zones, 850mm–1000mm and 1400mm–1600mm above floor level. Frosted bands, dots or logos in film can provide this.
Glass Balustrades in Merseyside
BS 6180, the code of practice for barriers, says a handrail should be used where glass guards a drop of more than 600mm, unless the glass is laminated toughened glass that would stay in place if a panel failed. That is why frameless balustrades without a top rail use laminated glass.
Aluminium Windows in Merseyside
Upper-floor windows may need to work as escape routes. In England, Approved Document B guidance for an escape window is an unobstructed openable area of at least 0.33 m², at least 450mm high and 450mm wide, and no more than 1100mm from floor to the bottom of the opening.
Secondary Glazing in Merseyside
Glass for secondary glazing is heavy, so the frames need firm fixings into the reveal or a supporting sub-frame. The surveyor checks that plaster, timber linings and window boards are sound enough to carry the weight, and allows for any packing needed in uneven reveals.
Glazing in Merseyside: questions
Can you match my existing glass?
In most cases, yes. We can match common obscure patterns, Georgian bars, leaded designs and tints, and we will tell you on the survey if an exact match is not available and what the closest option is.
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.
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.
Which towns in Merseyside do you cover?
We cover the whole of Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Southport, Wallasey and Bootle, across postcode areas CH, L, PR, WA. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we will confirm cover and arrange a free survey.
