Before the visit
Insurance
Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Rules that apply in 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.

Broken glass replacement in Nottingham: questions
Which areas near Nottingham do you cover?
Yes. As well as Nottingham, we can arrange visits in nearby West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
