Getting the right glass for your building

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.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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.

Commercial reglazing in Greater Manchester: questions

Which towns in Greater Manchester do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Greater Manchester, including Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Bolton and Stockport, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

Can work be done out of hours?

Yes. Many commercial reglazing jobs are done early, late or at weekends where an installer is available.
