How much should I budget for commercial reglazing in Cornwall?
As a guide, allow £395 to £2,495 plus VAT (£474 to £2,994 inc VAT) per pane for commercial reglazing in Cornwall, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
Commercial reglazing is the replacement of glass in office facades, shopfronts, curtain walling and internal screens, whether it is damaged, misted, unsafe or being upgraded. It often involves large panes, access equipment and work planned around a building that stays open.

What to think about first
Coated glass matching
Older solar control glass may no longer be made. We source the closest match and tell you if it will look slightly different.
Match or upgrade
Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.
Consents and safety: England
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Commercial reglazing in Cornwall: questions
Which towns in Cornwall do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne, and in other towns across the area.
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.
Should we upgrade to laminated glass while reglazing?
At ground level and in doors, often yes. It adds safety and security for a modest extra cost.
