Fitting in South Croydon and nearby

South Croydon is about 10 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the CR2 district and in nearby places such as Croydon and Purley.

Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges

What to think about first

Solar control

South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.

Laminated inner or both panes

A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.

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.

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 South Croydon: questions

Which areas near South Croydon do you cover?

We can arrange work in South Croydon and in nearby Croydon (1 mile), Purley (2 miles) and Wallington (3 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.

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 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.
