Before the visit
Insurance
Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.
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.
Building regulations and safety in 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 Chalk Farm: questions
Which areas near Chalk Farm do you cover?
We can arrange work in Chalk Farm and in nearby Camden Town (1 mile), Holloway (1 mile) and Archway (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.

Yes. We provide a written description of the damage, the work and the glass fitted, which you can send with your claim.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
