Getting the right glass for your building
Keeping the building open
Out-of-hours work and phased replacement keep disruption low.
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
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.
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 Sunderland: questions
Do you cover Seaham as well as Sunderland?
Yes. As well as Sunderland, we can arrange surveys in nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can work be done out of hours?
Yes. Many commercial reglazing jobs are done early, late or at weekends where an installer is available.
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.
