Ways we can help in Longton
Safety Glass in Longton
Toughened glass can, in rare cases, break without any obvious impact because of tiny nickel sulphide inclusions in the glass. Heat soak testing exposes the toughened glass to heat for a set period to break susceptible panes before supply, which reduces the risk without removing it completely.
Shopfront Glazing in Longton
Security glazing is classified under BS EN 356 by its resistance to manual attack. Classes P1A to P5A are tested by dropping a steel ball on the glass from set heights, and the higher classes P6B to P8B are tested with repeated axe and hammer blows.
Secondary Glazing in Longton
For noise reduction, the size of the air gap between the original window and the secondary unit matters a great deal, and a wider cavity generally performs better. Acoustic laminated glass and well-sealed frames improve results further, especially against traffic, rail and aircraft noise.

Glazing in Longton: questions
Do you cover my area?
We cover England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some islands and remote areas are quoted by arrangement. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we will confirm cover before any visit is booked.
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.
Do you handle commercial and shopfront work?
Yes. We quote for shopfront glass, security laminated glazing, office partitions, glazed screens and curtain walling, as well as reactive glass replacement for commercial premises.
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.
