Fitting in Kendal and nearby
Kendal is about 40 miles from Carlisle, the main centre for Cumbria. We can survey and fit across the LA9 district and in nearby places such as Morecambe and Lancaster.
Cumbria's stone-built towns such as Kendal, Keswick and Penrith, Carlisle's Victorian centre and coastal Whitehaven and Barrow-in-Furness all take wet, windy Atlantic weather.
Typical places for commercial reglazing:
- Schools, libraries and council buildings
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Shopfronts and showrooms
- Internal glazed screens and partitions
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in 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 Kendal: questions
Which areas near Kendal do you cover?

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.

Usually closely. Some older coatings are no longer made, so we source the nearest match and explain any difference before ordering.
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.
