Things to decide before you order
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.
Keep or replace frames
If the frames are sound, new glass is the cheaper upgrade. If they are failing, we will tell you so you can compare with new windows.
Rules that apply in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Security glass for home windows in Barrow-in-Furness: questions
Which areas near Barrow-in-Furness do you cover?
We can arrange work in Barrow-in-Furness and in nearby Morecambe (15 miles), Fleetwood (16 miles) and Lancaster (18 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do I need new windows to get security glass?
No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.
Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?
We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
Does replacing the glass need building regulations approval?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows is controlled work: notifiable in England and Wales, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland the council's building control can say whether approval is needed. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
