Things to think about

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.

Consents and safety: England

England

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.

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.

Broken glass replacement in Woking: questions

Do you cover Guildford as well as Woking?

Yes. As well as Woking, we can arrange visits in nearby Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Do you board up broken windows?

Where the opening cannot be left and an installer is available, we can arrange temporary boarding until the new glass is fitted.

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.
