Visits in Skelmersdale and nearby
Skelmersdale is about 15 miles from Preston, the main centre for Lancashire. We can arrange visits across the WN8 district and in nearby places such as Ormskirk and Wigan.
Lancashire pairs Victorian terraces and town-centre retail in Preston and Blackburn with Lancaster's Georgian stone streets and the seafront hotels, shops and arcades of Blackpool.
Typical reasons to book:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Glass damaged during building work
Things to think about
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Building regulations and safety 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 Skelmersdale: questions
Do you cover Ormskirk as well as Skelmersdale?
We can arrange work in Skelmersdale and in nearby Ormskirk (5 miles), Wigan (6 miles) and Kirkby (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
