Before the visit
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen, under Approved Document B for Wales and, in non-domestic premises, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it, so the two cannot simply be swapped.
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo
- Visit price confirmed
- Measure and make safe if needed
- Glass agreed, ordered and fitted
Broken glass replacement in Gorseinon: questions
Which areas near Gorseinon do you cover?
Yes. As well as Gorseinon, we can arrange visits in nearby Llanelli, Swansea and Ammanford. 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.
