Fitting in Sunbury-on-Thames and nearby
Sunbury-on-Thames is about 13 miles from Guildford, the main centre for Surrey. We can survey and fit across the TW16 district and in nearby places such as Walton-on-Thames and Hampton.
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.
This glazing suits:
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
- Flats on walkways and balconies
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- 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 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 Sunbury-on-Thames: questions
Which areas near Sunbury-on-Thames do you cover?
We can arrange work in Sunbury-on-Thames and in nearby Walton-on-Thames (1 mile), Hampton (2 miles) and Hanworth (3 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.
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.
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.
