Visits in Calne and nearby
Calne is about 13 miles from Swindon, the main centre for Wiltshire. We can arrange visits across the SN11 district and in nearby places such as Chippenham and Devizes.
Wiltshire combines Salisbury's medieval and Georgian centre, Swindon's modern town centre, offices and estates, and stone market towns such as Marlborough, Devizes and Bradford-on-Avon.
This work suits:
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
Before the visit
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Insurance
Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.
Building regulations and safety 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.
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 Calne: questions
Which areas near Calne do you cover?
We can arrange work in Calne and in nearby Chippenham (5 miles), Devizes (6 miles) and Melksham (7 miles). 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.
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.
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.
