- Upgrades to laminated or toughened safety glass
- Replacement of single panes and sealed units

Fitting in Luton and nearby
Surveys in Luton (LU1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Dunstable (5 miles) and Harpenden (5 miles).
Bedford's Victorian terraces and Luton's long shopping streets sit alongside 1960s to 1990s estates and newer uPVC-glazed developments around Leighton Buzzard and the M1 corridor.
Typical settings for commercial reglazing:
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Office facades and curtain walling
- Shopfronts and showrooms
- Schools, libraries and council buildings
Getting the right glass for your building
Match or upgrade
Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
What the rules say in England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Commercial reglazing in Luton: questions
Can you survey in Luton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Luton, Dunstable and Harpenden are booked around installer availability.
Can you match our existing tinted glass?
Usually closely. Some older coatings are no longer made, so we source the nearest match and explain any difference before ordering.
Who arranges permits for lifts on the pavement?
We do, as part of planning the job, and include the cost in the price.
Do you work on curtain walling?
Yes, replacing glass within existing curtain wall and shopfront systems, subject to a survey of the framing and gaskets.
