Rules and planning in Northamptonshire
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.
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.
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.
Northamptonshire is inland, around 66 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.
Ways we can help in Northamptonshire
Glass Balustrades in Northamptonshire
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.
Frameless Glass in Northamptonshire
In workplaces in England, Wales and Scotland, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require glass in doors, walls and partitions to be of safety material or protected where needed for safety, and to be marked or otherwise made apparent so people notice it.
Shopfront Glazing in Northamptonshire
In England, large areas of clear glass in shopfronts and entrance screens that people could walk into need manifestation at two levels, 850–1000mm and 1400–1600mm above the floor. Logos, frosted bands or patterns can do the job if they contrast clearly with what is seen through the glass.
Aluminium Windows in Northamptonshire
Powder-coated aluminium does not need painting, but it does need cleaning. Wash frames with warm water and a mild detergent a few times a year, rinse, and avoid abrasive pads or solvents. Clean more often near the sea or busy roads, where salt and grime sit on the surface for longer.
Glazing in Northamptonshire: 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.
Is the survey really free?
Yes, for new glazing and glass replacement. Measuring and quoting costs you nothing and there is no obligation to go ahead. If a visit is only to diagnose or repair a fault, or to board up a broken window, we tell you before booking whether a charge applies. Once you accept a quote, the price on it is the price for that specification, and any extra work is agreed with you in writing first.
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 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.
