Visits in Ipswich and nearby
We can arrange broken glass replacement across Ipswich, the main centre for Suffolk, and in nearby towns including Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.
Suffolk ranges from Ipswich's waterfront offices and town-centre shops to timber-framed and Georgian streets in Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham and Woodbridge, and coastal Lowestoft and Felixstowe.
This work suits:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Glass damaged during building work
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
Before the visit
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.
Rules that apply in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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.
