Visits in Andover and nearby
Andover is about 22 miles from Southampton, the main centre for Hampshire. We can arrange visits across the SP10 district and in nearby places such as Winchester and Newbury.
Hampshire covers the port-city shops and offices of Southampton and Portsmouth, Winchester's listed centre, and commuter estates around Basingstoke, Eastleigh and Fareham.
This work suits:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Glass damaged during building work
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- 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.
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
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 Andover: questions
Which areas near Andover do you cover?
We can arrange work in Andover and in nearby Winchester (13 miles), Newbury (15 miles) and Salisbury (16 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.
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.
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.
