Fitting in Welshpool and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Welshpool and across the SY21 postcode district. Tell us your postcode and we will offer dates.
Powys is rural, with small market towns such as Brecon, Newtown, Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells, Victorian and stone buildings, and farmhouses and holiday lets some way from main roads.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Flats on walkways and balconies
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
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 Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
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.

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.
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.
