Fitting in Huntingdon and nearby
Surveys in Huntingdon (PE29) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby St Neots (9 miles), Cambridge (16 miles) and Peterborough (17 miles).
Cambridgeshire has listed college streets and shopfronts in Cambridge and Ely, Peterborough's Victorian terraces and modern retail, and science-park offices with large glazed facades.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- French doors onto gardens
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Building regulations and safety in 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 Huntingdon: questions
Can you survey in Huntingdon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Huntingdon, St Neots and Cambridge are booked around 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.
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.
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.
