Fitting in Exeter and nearby
Exeter is about 36 miles from Plymouth, the main centre for Devon. We can survey and fit across the EX1 district and in nearby places such as Exmouth and Tiverton.
Devon spans Exeter's Georgian and post-war centre, Plymouth's rebuilt 1950s shopping streets and waterfront offices, and seaside towns where sea air is hard on window frames and seals.
Common uses:
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Shopfronts and showrooms
- Office facades and curtain walling
- Internal glazed screens and partitions
What to think about first
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Exeter: questions
Which areas near Exeter do you cover?
We can arrange work in Exeter and in nearby Exmouth (9 miles), Tiverton (12 miles) and Newton Abbot (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Can work be done out of hours?
Yes. Many commercial reglazing jobs are done early, late or at weekends where an installer is available.
