Ways we can help in Wantage
Safety Glass in Wantage
Safety glass in a building should carry a permanent mark, usually in a corner, that stays visible after fitting. It names the maker or supplier and the standard, such as BS EN 12150 for toughened glass. The mark is how a buyer or inspector can confirm what was fitted.
Window Film in Wantage
Many window films block most ultraviolet light, which is one cause of fading in furniture, floors and stock. Visible light and heat also contribute to fading, so film slows fading rather than stopping it. A clear UV film changes the view very little.
Replacement Glass in Wantage
Swapping glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than notifiable building work in England. Replacing the whole frame and opening parts is different and usually needs to be notified, either through building control or a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass.

Glazing in Wantage: questions
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.
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.
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 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.
Do you cover Wantage?
Yes. We cover Wantage and the surrounding Oxfordshire area, including postcode districts OX12. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
