Things to think about

Insurance

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

Making safe first

If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.

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.

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 Berkhamsted: questions

Do you cover Chesham as well as Berkhamsted?

We can arrange work in Berkhamsted and in nearby Chesham (4 miles), Hemel Hempstead (5 miles) and Amersham (7 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.

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.

What happens to the broken glass?

We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
