Before the visit
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo
- Visit price confirmed
- Measure and make safe if needed
