Social housing glazing repairs in Bordon: what to know
A planned glazing survey checks each property for unmarked glass in critical locations, misted units, cracked panes, failed hinges and locks, and missing restrictors. The resulting schedule lets you budget and prioritise, rather than reacting to faults one at a time.
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.
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 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.

Local details for Bordon
- Postcodes covered
- GU35 and the surrounding area, including Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet
- Coast
- Bordon is well inland, around 30 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Bordon the midwinter sun reaches about 15° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.7 hours of daylight, rising to about 62° and 16.3 hours in midsummer. South and west-facing flats can overheat and suffer glare, which tenants often report. Solar control glass or film is an option on replacement, and checking for condensation on north-facing windows helps spot ventilation issues in colder months.
- Access and setting
- 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.
- Rules in England
- 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.

Property Glazing in Bordon: questions
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.
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.
How much does glazing work for landlords cost?
The cost depends on the type of job, glass specification, size and number of panes, access, any boarding needed first, and whether the work is reactive or planned. Grouping planned jobs across properties usually reduces cost per job. See the guide prices for typical work, and every job has its own written quote.
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.
