What the rules say in England

England

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.

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.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Hatfield: questions

Which areas near Hatfield do you cover?

We can arrange work in Hatfield and in nearby Welwyn Garden City (3 miles), St Albans (5 miles) and Potters Bar (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can misted glass be repaired instead of replaced?

Some services drill and dry units, but the seal stays broken and insulation is not restored. A new unit is the reliable fix.

Will the new unit match the others?

We match the size, spacer colour and glass as closely as we can, including common obscure patterns.

Do I need a new window frame?

No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
