Getting the right glass for your building

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.

Match or upgrade

Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.

What the rules say in England

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.

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Commercial reglazing in Suffolk: questions

Which towns in Suffolk do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Suffolk, including Ipswich, Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and Felixstowe, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.
