Ways we can help in Shrewsbury
Replacement Glass in Shrewsbury
Fitting a replacement unit is usually a short visit per window once the glass has been made. The beads are eased out, the old unit lifted out, the rebate cleaned, and the new unit set on glazing packers to support its weight and keep any opening sash square before the beads go back.
Window Film in Shrewsbury
Safety films hold the pieces together if the glass breaks, reducing the risk of injury from flying or falling shards. Some safety films have been impact tested to BS EN 12600 when applied to glass. Ask for the film's tested class, as performance depends on the film and the glass.
Glass Roofs in Shrewsbury
In England, Approved Document L limits how much of an extension can be glazed when the simple standard route is used. Large glass roofs often go beyond that limit, so energy calculations are usually needed to show the extension still complies, and building control checks them.

Glazing in Shrewsbury: questions
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.
What is safety glass and where is it needed?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks in a safer way than ordinary float glass. Building regulations require it in critical locations, such as glass in and beside doors and low-level glazing, and we specify it wherever it is required.
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.
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.
