Planned glazing maintenance for homes and businesses in Northamptonshire
For workplaces, communal areas and offices, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations require windows, glazed doors and transparent partitions to be of safety material or protected against breakage where needed for health or safety, and to be marked so they are apparent.
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.
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.
Every job gets its own written quote that fixes the price for the specification shown. The quote can carry your purchase order or job reference, so it matches your system. Work beyond the quote, such as extra panes found on site, is quoted separately before it goes ahead.

What applies in Northamptonshire
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.
Northamptonshire is inland, around 66 km from the nearest coast at its closest point, so salt exposure is rarely a factor.
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 Northamptonshire: questions
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.
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.
Do replacement panes in rented homes need to be safety glass?
They do if they are in critical locations. In England, Approved Document K covers glass in doors and within 300mm of a door edge, up to 1500mm above the floor, and other glass within 800mm of the floor. Upgrading old unmarked glass in these places reduces risk, and the rules differ in detail between UK nations.
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.
