Rules and planning in West Sussex
Listed buildings in England need listed building consent for most changes to historic windows or glass, and conservation areas can restrict changes visible from the street. Speak to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
In England, replacing a whole window, roof window or glazed external door is building work. It has to be notified to building control, either by an installer registered with a competent person scheme such as FENSA or Certass, or through a building notice to the council. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is a repair and is not notifiable.
Approved Document L sets the minimum energy performance for replacement windows and doors in existing homes in England: a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K, or Window Energy Rating band B for windows; doors can instead meet a Door Set Energy Rating (band B, or band C for doors more than 60% glazed); rooflights need 2.2 W/m²K.
West Sussex has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief.
Ways we can help in West Sussex
uPVC Windows in West Sussex
Some upstairs windows are escape routes in a fire. In England, the Approved Document B guidance for an escape window is a clear openable area of at least 0.33 m², at least 450mm high and 450mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1100mm above the floor.
Curtain Walling in West Sussex
A unitised system arrives as storey-height panels assembled and glazed in a factory, which are lifted into place and interlocked. Fewer joints are made on site, which can reduce the risk of air and water leaks from site workmanship, but cranage and lead times need careful planning.
Composite Doors in West Sussex
For easily accessible doors in new homes in England, Approved Document Q expects doorsets that resist forced entry, commonly shown by testing to PAS 24. Asking for a PAS 24 tested composite door is a practical benchmark when replacing a front or back door, even though the rule targets new dwellings.
Shopfront Glazing in West Sussex
Manual entrance doors in buildings other than dwellings in England should open with no more than 30N of force at the door edge from closed to 30 degrees, then 22.5N from 30 to 60 degrees. Heavy doors and strong closers often fail this, so closers are chosen and adjusted to suit.
Glazing in West Sussex: questions
Can you match my existing glass?
In most cases, yes. We can match common obscure patterns, Georgian bars, leaded designs and tints, and we will tell you on the survey if an exact match is not available and what the closest option is.
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 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.
How do payment and deposits work?
Payment terms are set out on your written quote. For made-to-measure items a deposit may be requested before ordering, and the quote explains when the balance is due.
