Social housing glazing repairs across East Sussex
The Housing Health and Safety Rating System is used by councils in England to assess hazards in homes. Its hazards include collision and entrapment, which covers glazing, falls between levels, which covers windows, and entry by intruders. Broken glass and faulty window locks can fall under these headings.
After each job, you receive photos of the before and after condition, the glass specification fitted, and a short note of any other defects seen. This creates a record for the property file, supports insurance claims and can help when deposits or disputes need evidence.
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.
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.

What applies in East Sussex
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.
East Sussex 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.
Urban portfolios often include flats above shops, HMOs and blocks with communal entrances. Access, parking, keys and tenant contact need planning, and ground-floor glass facing the street benefits from laminated glass and secure locks.

Property Glazing in East Sussex: 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 help with void properties between tenancies?
Yes. Between tenancies, a glazier can check and repair broken or misted glass, replace damaged locks and cylinders, fix hinges and handles, and fit restrictors where needed. The work is reported with photos, giving a clear record of the property's glazing condition at the start of the next tenancy.
What reports and photos do we get after each job?
You receive before and after photos, the glass specification fitted, a note of any safety glass marking, and any other defects the glazier noticed, such as failed hinges or misted units nearby. The invoice matches the approved quote and carries your reference, making it easy to check and file.
Do you work on communal areas and commercial premises?
Yes. We cover communal entrance doors, stairwell windows and glazed screens in blocks and HMOs, as well as offices and shops managed by agents and facilities teams. Large communal panels often need laminated or toughened glass and careful planning for access, so these jobs normally start with a survey.
