Visits in Retford and nearby
Retford is about 27 miles from Nottingham, the main centre for Nottinghamshire. We can arrange visits across the DN22 district and in nearby places such as Worksop and Gainsborough.
Nottinghamshire mixes Nottingham's Lace Market warehouses and city-centre shops with Victorian terraces, post-war estates around Mansfield and Worksop, and Georgian Newark and Southwell.
Typical reasons to book:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Glass damaged during building work
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.
Glazing rules 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.
