Planned glazing maintenance in Cornwall
In England, landlords of most residential tenancies have a duty under section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 to keep the structure and exterior in repair. Damage caused by a tenant is usually handled differently, and tenancy terms set out who pays.
The cost of property glazing work depends on the job type, glass specification, size and number of panes, access, whether boarding is needed first, and whether visits are reactive or planned. Grouping planned work across several properties usually reduces travel and set-up time per job.
Tenant access is often the biggest cause of delay. With your permission, we contact tenants directly to arrange a convenient time, confirm the visit in writing and report back if access is refused, so you have a clear record of every attempt to complete the job.
When a property needs to be made safe after a break-in or damage, the first visit removes loose glass and boards or temporarily glazes the opening. The permanent glass is measured, quoted and fitted on a second visit, and both stages are reported against the same job.
What applies in Cornwall
Approved Document K requires safety glass in critical locations in England: glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door, up to 1500 mm above floor level, and any glazing in walls or partitions up to 800 mm above floor level.
Approved Document B covers escape windows. Where an existing window is an escape route, typically in first-floor bedrooms, its replacement should give at least the same escape opening as before.
Cornwall has its own coastline, so for homes and businesses near the sea, salt air and wind-driven rain are part of the brief. Coastal portfolios see more salt corrosion on window hardware and more strain on seals from wind-driven rain. Planned checks on hinges, locks and sealed units help spot problems early, especially in seafront flats and holiday lets.
Rural portfolios can spread across a wide area, so grouping jobs and planned surveys saves visits. Older cottages often have timber windows and non-standard glass sizes, which the glazier measures carefully before ordering replacements.

Property Glazing in Cornwall: questions
Who pays when a tenant breaks a window?
That depends on the tenancy agreement and the circumstances. In England, landlords have repairing duties for the structure and exterior of most residential lets, but damage caused by the tenant or their visitors is usually the tenant's responsibility. Many agents recover it from the deposit or by agreement. Our photos and report help document the damage.
Can you arrange access with our tenants directly?
Yes, if you authorise it. We contact the tenant to arrange a suitable time, confirm the appointment in writing and keep you updated. If access is refused or the tenant is not in, we report back with the dates and times of each attempt, so you have a clear record for your property file.
Do you provide a quote for each job before work starts?
Yes. Every job gets a written quote that fixes the price for the specification shown, carrying your reference if you give one. For make-safe work, we confirm the boarding cost before or at the visit, then quote for the permanent glass. Any extra work found on site is quoted separately and only done once approved.
How do we raise a glazing job for one of our properties?
Send the job by form, phone, email or WhatsApp with the property address, a description of the problem, access details, a tenant or site contact, and any photos. Add your order reference if you use one. We confirm the job, arrange a glazier to survey or make safe, and send a written quote that carries your reference.
Which parts of Cornwall do you cover for property glazing?
We cover the whole of Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne, and postcode areas EX, PL, TR. Building rules for property glazing here follow the regulations for England. Enter your postcode on the quote form and we will confirm cover; then a glazier will arrange a free survey before giving you a written quote.
