Questions we will ask at the survey

Which elevations first

Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.

Frame condition

If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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 rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

Laminated glass retrofit in Kidsgrove: questions

Do you cover Congleton as well as Kidsgrove?

Yes. As well as Kidsgrove, we can arrange surveys in nearby Congleton, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent. Dates depend on installer availability.

Will the windows look different?

No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.

Do I need permission to change the glass?

Changing glass in existing frames is generally treated as a repair. Listed buildings may still need listed building consent, so check with the council.

Is retrofitting cheaper than new windows?

Usually, yes, because frames, plastering and making good are not involved. It only makes sense where the frames are sound.
