Visits in Wakefield and nearby
Wakefield is about 8 miles from Leeds, the main centre for West Yorkshire. We can arrange visits across the WF1 district and in nearby places such as Ossett and Dewsbury.

Common situations:
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Glass damaged during building work
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
Getting the best result
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.
Glazing rules 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.

Broken glass replacement in Wakefield: questions
Can you visit addresses near Wakefield?
We can arrange work in Wakefield and in nearby Ossett (3 miles), Dewsbury (5 miles) and Morley (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
