About planned glazing maintenance in Stourbridge
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.
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.
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.

Working in Stourbridge
- Postcodes covered
- DY8, DY9, DY5 and the surrounding area, including Brierley Hill, Kingswinford and Dudley
- Coast
- Stourbridge is well inland, around 76 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Stourbridge the midwinter sun reaches about 14° above the horizon at noon, with roughly 7.4 hours of daylight, rising to about 61° and 16.6 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 Stourbridge: 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.
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.
Can you carry out a planned glazing survey across our portfolio?
Yes. A glazier visits each property and records the condition of glass and windows, including unmarked glass in critical locations, misted units, cracks, failed hardware and missing restrictors. You receive a schedule with photos and recommended work, so you can prioritise safety items and budget for the rest.
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.
