Things to think about
Check the frame

Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Broken glass replacement in Felixstowe: questions
Do you cover Harwich as well as Felixstowe?
We can arrange work in Felixstowe and in nearby Harwich (3 miles), Ipswich (11 miles) and Clacton-on-Sea (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
