Visits in Doncaster and nearby
Doncaster is about 17 miles from Sheffield, the main centre for South Yorkshire. We can arrange visits across the DN1 district and in nearby places such as Rotherham and Pontefract.
South Yorkshire includes Sheffield's city-centre offices and shops, Victorian terraces along its valleys, and town centres in Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley ringed by retail parks.
Common situations:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Glass damaged during building work
Getting the best result
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Like for like or upgrade
Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
Rules that apply 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.
