Visits in Crowthorne and nearby
Crowthorne is about 10 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can arrange visits across the RG45 district and in nearby places such as Sandhurst and Yateley.
Berkshire pairs the glass-fronted offices of Reading, Slough and Bracknell with Victorian and Edwardian housing and listed riverside buildings in Windsor and Eton.
This work suits:
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Glass damaged during building work
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
Before the visit
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Like for like or upgrade
Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
What the rules say in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Broken glass replacement in Crowthorne: questions
Which areas near Crowthorne do you cover?
We can arrange work in Crowthorne and in nearby Sandhurst (2 miles), Yateley (2 miles) and Camberley (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
How quickly can broken glass be replaced?
The new glass has to be made to measure, so lead times depend on the type and size. Temporary boarding can be arranged where an installer is available; we do not promise a fixed response time.
Can you give me paperwork for my insurer?
Yes. We provide a written description of the damage, the work and the glass fitted, which you can send with your claim.
Do you board up broken windows?
Where the opening cannot be left and an installer is available, we can arrange temporary boarding until the new glass is fitted.
