Fitting in Peterhead
We arrange surveys and fitting in Peterhead and across the AB42 postcode district. Tell us your postcode and we will offer dates.
This area runs from Aberdeen's granite city-centre offices and shops to Aberdeenshire towns such as Inverurie and Peterhead and Elgin in Moray, with hard North Sea weather on the coast.
This glazing suits:
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
Questions we will ask at the survey
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Door hardware
Glass is only part of the picture. Worn rollers, missing anti-lift blocks or old locks are often worth fixing at the same visit.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Peterhead: questions
Do you cover Fraserburgh as well as Peterhead?
Yes. As well as Peterhead, we can arrange work in nearby Fraserburgh. Dates depend on installer availability.
Is patio door glass already safety glass?
It should be, because doors are critical locations. Most is toughened, which is safe but not secure. Adding a laminated pane makes it both.
Can sliding doors be lifted out?
Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.
Can you replace just one pane of a bifold?
Yes. Each leaf takes its own unit, so we can upgrade one leaf or all of them.
