We repair what you have. We don't sell or fit replacement window frames, and if a window isn't worth repairing we'll tell you so.
Fire door glass
When the glass in a fire door is cracked or broken, the door can't do its job properly until it's reglazed. We replace it with fire-rated glass so the door keeps its fire protection, and check the door closes and latches as it should before we leave.
Recently we reglazed a fire door at a school in Ashford.
Safety glass where children are
Glass in doors, and in windows and panels close to the floor, should be safety glass. When we replace a broken pane in these places we use toughened glass, which breaks into small blunt pieces, or laminated glass, which holds together if it's hit. If you're not sure what's in a door or window now, send us a photo and we'll tell you what it should be.
Working around the school day
We can visit before or after school hours, or work during half-terms and the holidays. Our team signs in at reception, follows your school's site rules and is DBS-checked.
We offer same-day visits where possible. We take calls Monday to Friday until 8pm, so a site manager can ring us after the school day ends.
Misted windows and worn hinges
When the seal on a double-glazed unit fails, the glass mists up and the room loses heat. We replace just the sealed unit, not the frame, with low iron glass, a warm edge spacer, low-E coating and argon filling as standard. Every new unit has our 5-year parts and labour guarantee against thermal breakdown.
Worn hinges and handles are just as common on busy school doors and windows. Most can be repaired with new parts, without replacing the door or window.
Areas we cover
From our base at Unit 125 Ellingham Way, Ashford TN23 6LZ, we cover schools along the M20 from West Malling and Maidstone to Folkestone, Hythe and Dover, across east Kent to Canterbury, Faversham, Deal and Sandwich, and down through Headcorn, Tenterden, Charing, New Romney, Lydd and Dymchurch to Rye in East Sussex. We don't cover Margate or Ramsgate.
