Fitting in Bridgwater and nearby
Bridgwater is about 9 miles from Taunton, the main centre for Somerset. We can survey and fit across the TA6 district and in nearby places such as Burnham-on-Sea and Taunton.
Somerset's glazing runs from the Georgian sashes of Bath, a World Heritage city, to the town-centre shops of Taunton and Yeovil and the seafront at Weston-super-Mare.
This glazing suits:
- Sliding patio doors at the back of a house
- French doors onto gardens
- Ground-floor flats with doors onto terraces
- Doors hidden from the street by fences or hedges
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.
Integral blinds
Units with blinds inside the glass can be made with a laminated pane, but lead times are longer.
Building regulations and safety in England
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.
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 Bridgwater: questions
Which areas near Bridgwater do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bridgwater and in nearby Burnham-on-Sea (8 miles), Taunton (9 miles) and Weston-super-Mare (15 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 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.
