Glass and fitting options
- Matching tints and solar control coatings where possible
- Vacuum lifters, towers and boom lifts
- Gasket and bead renewal
- Work out of hours where needed
- Pavement barriers and highway permits arranged
- Replacement of single panes and sealed units

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.
Glazing rules in 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.
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.
