Things to think about
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.
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 Cowes: questions
Can you work in Cowes?
Work in Cowes is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
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.
