Before the visit
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.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo
- Visit price confirmed
- Measure and make safe if needed
- Glass agreed, ordered and fitted
Broken glass replacement in Highland: questions
Which towns in Highland do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Highland, including Inverness, Aviemore, Dingwall, Fort William and Nairn, and in other towns across the area. Island and remote addresses are arranged individually.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
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.
