Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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.

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 Tyne and Wear: questions

Which towns in Tyne and Wear do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields, Gateshead and Washington, and in other towns across the area.

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 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.

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.
