Visits in Boston and nearby
Boston is about 27 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can arrange visits across the PE21 district and in nearby places such as Spalding and Sleaford.
Lincolnshire spans Lincoln's hilltop historic quarter, Georgian Stamford, market towns across the Wolds and Fens, and coastal resorts such as Skegness and Cleethorpes.
Typical reasons to book:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- 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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.
