Ways we can help in Washwood Heath
Replacement Glass in Washwood Heath
Safety glass should carry a permanent mark, usually etched in one corner, that stays visible once the glass is fitted. The mark identifies the maker or supplier and the standard it meets, such as BS EN 12150 for toughened glass or a BS EN 12600 impact class.
Composite Doors in Washwood Heath
Glass in a door, and in any side panel within 300mm of the door's edge, counts as a critical location when it is within 1500mm of the floor. In England, Approved Document K expects that glass to be safety glass that breaks safely, such as toughened or laminated glass.
Glass Balustrades in Washwood Heath
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 Washwood Heath: questions
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 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.
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 I need building regulations approval?
Replacing just the glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows or glazed external doors is building work, and the rules on notification differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your quote explains what applies and how it will be handled.
