Ways we can help in Newmarket
Window Film in Newmarket
Film is applied wet, so slight haze or small water pockets are normal at first and clear as the film cures. Curing takes longer in cold, damp weather. Avoid cleaning the filmed glass until the fitter says it has cured, then use a soft cloth and mild soapy water.
Window Repairs in Newmarket
A door that drags on the threshold, catches the frame or needs lifting to lock has usually dropped. Doors can often be adjusted using the hinges and by repacking the glass or panel so the door sits square again. Adjustment is usually tried before replacing parts.
Glass Balustrades in Newmarket
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 Newmarket: questions
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.
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.
How long does a job take?
Glass is made to measure, so there is usually a lead time between survey and fitting. Fitting a sealed unit is normally quick; new windows, doors and architectural glass take longer. Your quote gives the expected lead time and how long the fitting will take on site.
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.
