Things to decide before you order

Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.
Class of glass
P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Laminated glass retrofit in Cleckheaton: questions
Do you cover Brighouse as well as Cleckheaton?
Yes. As well as Cleckheaton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Brighouse, Batley and Dewsbury. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
Will laminated glass fit my frames?
Most modern frames can take a laminated unit of the same overall thickness. We check the rebate depth and beads at the survey.
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.
