- Glass lifters and enough installers for heavy panes
- Units sized for sliding, French and bifold doors
- Integral blind units replaced like for like where possible
- Anti-lift and lock checks on sliding doors

Getting the right glass for your building
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
What the rules say 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.
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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Nelson: questions
Do you cover Colne as well as Nelson?
Yes. As well as Nelson, we can arrange surveys in nearby Colne, Burnley and Accrington. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
