Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.

- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Basement and lower-ground windows
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
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.
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.
Building regulations and safety in 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.

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.
