Fitting in Hawick and nearby
Whether you are in central Hawick or at the edge of the TD9 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Galashiels and Kelso are covered too.
The Scottish Borders has stone-built mill and market towns such as Galashiels, Hawick, Kelso and Peebles, with conservation areas covering many of their centres.
This glazing suits:
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Flats on walkways and balconies
Questions we will ask at the survey
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.
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 Scotland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
Security rules for new homes
Standard 4.13 asks for doors and windows in new homes that are vulnerable to unlawful entry to be secure. Glazing that would let someone reach a lock from outside should be laminated or similarly robust, and easily accessible openable windows need a keyed lock or a keyless lock with laminated glass. It applies through the building warrant for new homes and conversions.

Security glass for home windows in Hawick: questions
Do you cover Galashiels as well as Hawick?
Yes. As well as Hawick, we can arrange surveys in nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. 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.
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.
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.
