Visits in Sevenoaks and nearby
Sevenoaks is about 14 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can arrange visits across the TN13 district and in nearby places such as Tonbridge and Swanley.
Kent ranges from Canterbury's listed city centre and the Regency fronts of Tunbridge Wells to the Medway towns, Ashford's growth estates and coastal Margate and Folkestone.
Typical reasons to book:
- Glass damaged during building work
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
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.
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
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.
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 Sevenoaks: questions
Do you cover Tonbridge as well as Sevenoaks?
We can arrange work in Sevenoaks and in nearby Tonbridge (6 miles), Swanley (9 miles) and Tunbridge Wells (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
