Things to think about

Making safe first

If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.

Check the frame

Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.

What the rules say in 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.

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.

Broken glass replacement in Chichester: questions

Do you cover Bognor Regis as well as Chichester?

Yes. As well as Chichester, we can arrange visits in nearby Bognor Regis, Havant and Littlehampton. 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.

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.

What happens to the broken glass?

We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
