Getting the best result

Check the frame

Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.

Insurance

Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Insurer requirements

Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

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.

Broken glass replacement in Cheshire: questions

Which towns in Cheshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester, Crewe, Ellesmere Port and Widnes, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

Should I replace broken glass with laminated glass?

If the pane was broken in a break-in, yes, usually. Laminated glass holds together when struck, so the same route is much harder to use again.
