Fitting in Daventry and nearby

Daventry is about 12 miles from Northampton, the main centre for Northamptonshire. We can survey and fit across the NN11 district and in nearby places such as Rugby and Northampton.

Northamptonshire mixes Northampton's town-centre retail and Victorian shoe-trade streets with newer estates around Corby and Wellingborough and stone villages towards Oundle.

Common uses:

Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Flats on walkways and balconies
Basement and lower-ground windows

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.

Laminated inner or both panes

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

Consents and safety: England

England

Windows needed for escape

Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

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 Daventry: questions

Which areas near Daventry do you cover?

We can arrange work in Daventry and in nearby Rugby (9 miles), Northampton (12 miles) and Leamington Spa (15 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

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

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.

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.
