Ways we can help in Ipswich
Roof Lanterns in Ipswich
Warm, moist air rises and collects in a roof lantern, so condensation can form on cold winter mornings, especially over kitchens and bathrooms. Thermally broken frames, warm-edge spacers and good room ventilation reduce it, and opening vents in the lantern can release warm air in summer.
Shower Screens in Ipswich
Toughened glass can very occasionally break on its own because of nickel sulphide inclusions. Heat soak testing to BS EN 14179 reduces that risk by breaking flawed panels in the factory, though it cannot remove it completely, and it can be specified for any screen.
Glass Balustrades in Ipswich
A frameless channel only performs as well as the structure it is bolted into. Channels need a solid base such as concrete or steel, and timber decks or floor joists often need extra steelwork or blocking. Checking the substrate at survey stage avoids panels that flex or loosen under load.

Glazing in Ipswich: 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.
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.
Do you cover Ipswich?
Yes. We cover Ipswich and the surrounding Suffolk area, including postcode districts IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4. Start with your postcode on the quote form and we will arrange a free survey and a written quote.
