Getting the right glass for your building

Trading hours

Large panes take time to swap. We plan the work to keep the shop open and secure, with boarding if a pane cannot be replaced the same visit.

Glass or frame first

If the frame is shallow or light, upgrading the glass alone moves the weak point to the frame. We price both so you can decide.

What the rules say in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

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.

Shopfront security glass in Oakham: questions

Which areas near Oakham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Oakham and in nearby Uppingham (6 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles) and Stamford (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Is my shop window toughened or laminated?

Look for the safety mark in a corner of the pane, or ask us to check at the survey. Many older shopfronts are toughened, which breaks completely and leaves the window open.

Can you fit the glass without closing the shop?

Usually. We plan early or after-closing slots where an installer is available, and keep the opening secure during the work.

Do I need planning permission to change shop glass?

Replacing glass in an existing shopfront does not normally need planning permission. Changing the shopfront design, adding external shutters or altering a listed building usually does.
