Laminated inner pane in new sealed units
Frames, handles and locks left in place
Same overall thickness as your current units where possible

Questions we will ask at the survey

Which windows first

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.

Building regulations and safety in 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.

Which areas near Andover do you cover?

We can arrange work in Andover and in nearby Winchester (13 miles), Newbury (15 miles) and Salisbury (16 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Will security glass make my home warmer or colder?

Choosing low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers usually matches or beats older units, so most people notice no change or an improvement.

No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.

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