Visits in Tynemouth and nearby
Tynemouth is about 8 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, the main centre for Tyne and Wear. We can arrange visits across the NE30 district and in nearby places such as North Shields and South Shields.
Tyne and Wear covers Newcastle's Grainger Town stone streets and quayside offices, the town centres of Sunderland and Gateshead, and large inter-war and post-war housing estates.
Typical reasons to book:
- Glass damaged during building work
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
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.

Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
Consents and safety: 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 Tynemouth: questions
Do you cover North Shields as well as Tynemouth?
We can arrange work in Tynemouth and in nearby North Shields (1 mile), South Shields (1 mile) and Whitley Bay (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
