Fitting in Ashington and nearby
Whether you are in central Ashington or at the edge of the NE63 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Blyth and Morpeth are covered too.
Northumberland is mostly rural, with stone market towns such as Hexham, Alnwick and Morpeth, former mining towns like Ashington and Blyth, and coastal villages open to North Sea winds.
This glazing suits:
- Bifold doors in kitchen extensions
- 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
Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.
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.
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 Ashington: questions
Do you cover Blyth as well as Ashington?
Yes. As well as Ashington, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blyth, Morpeth and Cramlington. Dates depend on 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.
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.
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.
