Staffordshire mixes Stoke-on-Trent's Victorian pottery-town terraces with Lichfield's cathedral quarter, Burton's brewery streets and newer estates around Tamworth and Cannock.

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.
Solar control
South-facing doors can overheat. Adding solar control glass at the same time keeps rooms cooler.
Building regulations and safety 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.
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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Tamworth: questions
Do you cover Lichfield as well as Tamworth?
Yes. As well as Tamworth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and Aldridge. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
