Fitting in Stroud and nearby

Surveys in Stroud (GL5) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Gloucester (8 miles), Cirencester (10 miles) and Cheltenham (12 miles).

Gloucestershire pairs Cheltenham's Regency terraces and shopping promenades with Gloucester's docks and city centre, and Cotswold-stone towns where conservation areas shape window changes.

Common uses:

Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Basement and lower-ground windows
Bungalows, where every window is at ground level

What to think about first

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.

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: 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.

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 glass for home windows in Stroud: questions

Can you survey in Stroud and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Stroud, Gloucester and Cirencester are booked around 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.

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.

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
