Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Commercial reglazing in Chelmsford: questions
Do you cover Billericay as well as Chelmsford?
Yes. As well as Chelmsford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Billericay, Witham and Maldon. 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.
Who arranges permits for lifts on the pavement?
We do, as part of planning the job, and include the cost in the price.
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.
