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.
Glass and fitting options
- Matching tints and solar control coatings where possible
- Vacuum lifters, towers and boom lifts
- Upgrades to laminated or toughened safety glass
- Work out of hours where needed
- Pavement barriers and highway permits arranged
- Written method statement and price
Fitting in Workington
We can arrange commercial reglazing anywhere in Workington (CA14). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Common uses:
- Office facades and curtain walling
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Internal glazed screens and partitions
- Schools, libraries and council buildings
What to think about first
Access
Ground-level panes may need only towers; upper panes may need a boom lift and highway permits. We plan and price access up front.
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
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.
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.
