Fitting in Banbridge and nearby
Banbridge is about 32 miles from Bangor, the main centre for County Down. We can survey and fit across the BT32 district and in nearby places such as Craigavon and Lurgan.
County Down mixes south Belfast suburbs and Bangor's seafront with Newry's busy shopping centre, Downpatrick's historic streets and coastal towns under the Mournes such as Newcastle.
Common uses:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
What to think about first
Which windows first
Start with windows that can be reached without a ladder and are out of sight from the street. We can schedule the rest for later.
Beads inside or out
Externally beaded windows can have the glass removed from outside. We fit security tape or clips so that route is closed.
Consents and safety: Northern Ireland
Security rules for new homes
If you are building a new home in Northern Ireland, ask the council's building control service which security requirements apply. In existing homes nothing obliges you to upgrade glass, but laminated glass to BS EN 356 P1A in doors and in windows beside them is a common benchmark taken from guidance in Great Britain.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Which windows do burglars target?
Mostly ground-floor windows at the back and side, and windows that can be reached from flat roofs or walls. Those are the ones we suggest upgrading first.
