Salisbury: landlord glass repairs
Glass replaced in doors, beside doors and at low level should be safety glass in critical locations. In England, Approved Document K sets out these locations. Recording that safety glass was fitted, and keeping the photo of its marking, helps show the property was kept safe.
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.
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.
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 Salisbury
- Postcodes covered
- SP1, SP2 and the surrounding area, including Andover, Totton and Ferndown
- Coast
- Salisbury is well inland, around 32 km from the nearest coast, so salt exposure is not usually a factor.
- Daylight and sun
- In Salisbury the midwinter sun reaches about 16° 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.

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 Salisbury: questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
