Fitting in Cwmbran and nearby

Cwmbran is about 5 miles from Newport, the main centre for Gwent. We can survey and fit across the NP44 district and in nearby places such as Pontypool and Risca.

Gwent includes Newport's city centre and business parks, the terraced former mining towns of the Ebbw and Afon Lwyd valleys, and Monmouthshire market towns like Abergavenny and Monmouth.

This glazing suits:

Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Flats on walkways and balconies
Basement and lower-ground windows
Bungalows, where every window is at ground level

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Laminated inner or both panes

A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.

Building regulations and safety in Wales

Wales

Windows needed for escape

Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for homes broadly in line with England's, including minimum clear opening sizes and a maximum sill height. New glass does not change those, but locks, secondary glazing and film must leave an escape window able to open. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Security glass for home windows in Cwmbran: questions

Which areas near Cwmbran do you cover?

We can arrange work in Cwmbran and in nearby Pontypool (3 miles), Risca (5 miles) and Newport (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
