Fitting in Bedford and nearby

Bedford is about 18 miles from Luton, the main centre for Bedfordshire. We can survey and fit across the MK40 district and in nearby places such as Ampthill and St Neots.

Bedford's Victorian terraces and Luton's long shopping streets sit alongside 1960s to 1990s estates and newer uPVC-glazed developments around Leighton Buzzard and the M1 corridor.

Common uses:

French doors onto gardens
Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
Sliding patio doors at the back of a house

What to think about first

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.

Integral blinds

Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.

Consents and safety: England

England

Planning permission

Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Bedford: questions

Which areas near Bedford do you cover?

We can arrange work in Bedford and in nearby Ampthill (8 miles), St Neots (10 miles) and Rushden (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Will laminated glass make my bifolds harder to open?

Units are slightly heavier. We adjust hinges, rollers and carriages after fitting so the doors run smoothly.

Do you work on aluminium bifolds?

Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.

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.
