Managing agent glazing services across Crawley
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.
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.
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.
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.

Crawley at a glance
- Postcodes covered
- RH10, RH11 and the surrounding area, including Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead
- Coast
- Crawley is well inland, around 31 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Crawley 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
- 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.
- 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.

Approved Document Q applies to new homes in England, where doors and windows are expected to meet PAS 24 or an equivalent standard. It does not apply to replacements in existing homes, but PAS 24 products are still a sensible choice.

Property Glazing in Crawley: 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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes. We can quote for property glazing across Crawley and the surrounding West Sussex area, including postcode districts RH10 and RH11, and nearby Horley, Horsham and East Grinstead.
