Things to think about

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.

Insurance

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

What the rules say in England

England

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.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Broken glass replacement in Bow: questions

Do you cover Stratford as well as Bow?

Yes. As well as Bow, we can arrange visits in nearby Stratford, Canary Wharf and Canning Town. 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.
