Fitting in Skipton and nearby
Whether you are in central Skipton or at the edge of the BD23 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Keighley and Colne are covered too.
North Yorkshire includes York's walled city and listed streets, Harrogate's Victorian stone terraces, Middlesbrough's town centre and coastal Scarborough and Whitby.
This glazing suits:
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- French doors onto gardens
Questions we will ask at the survey
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
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.

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