Fitting in Becontree and nearby
Becontree is about 11 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the RM9 district and in nearby places such as Dagenham and Barking.
Greater London has every kind of glazing, from Georgian sashes and Victorian bays in conservation areas to high-street shopfronts, office curtain walling and new-build flats.

- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
- French doors onto gardens
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
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 England
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.
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.
