Ways we can help in Galashiels
Glass Balustrades in Galashiels
Glass balustrades need little upkeep beyond cleaning with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. Outdoors, rinse grit and salt from fittings, keep drainage slots in channels clear, and check clamps, spigots and handrail joints once a year for any loosening or movement.
Composite Doors in Galashiels
A flat's entrance door that opens onto a shared stairwell or corridor is normally a fire door, so it should not be swapped for a standard composite door. Certified fire-rated composite doorsets are made for this purpose, and the freeholder or managing agent will usually need to agree the replacement.
Shower Screens in Galashiels
Glass thickness is usually 8mm or 10mm for frameless work. 8mm suits most doors and enclosures, while 10mm is commonly used for walk-in and wet room panels that stand with little support and need to stay rigid when knocked or leaned on.

Glazing in Galashiels: questions
Is my information shared with anyone?
Your enquiry is used to arrange your survey and quote. It is handled by the S&K Group and the glazier assigned to your job, and is not sold to third parties. See the privacy policy for full details.
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.
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.
