Visits in Fraserburgh
We can arrange broken glass replacement anywhere in Fraserburgh (AB43). Dates depend on installer availability.
This area runs from Aberdeen's granite city-centre offices and shops to Aberdeenshire towns such as Inverurie and Peterhead and Elgin in Moray, with hard North Sea weather on the coast.
This work suits:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
Before the visit
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
What the rules say in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
