How it works
Tell us what's happened
Ring and describe it, or send a photo and rough sizes. Most jobs in Sutton Coldfield can be given an indicative figure from a photograph before anyone comes out.
We come and measure
Free, with no call-out charge and no obligation. Glass is measured off the pane rather than the frame, and the specification is settled at that point rather than on fitting day.
Made safe if it needs it
Where an opening isn't secure the glass is cleared out of the frame and it's boarded properly, so the property is sound while the replacement is made up.
Fitted, and the frame stays
In the great majority of jobs the window, the hinges and the handles stay exactly where they are and only the glass changes. Nothing to make good afterwards.

Bigger houses mean bigger glass
The Royal Town has a lot of substantial interwar and Edwardian housing, particularly around Four Oaks, Wylde Green and Boldmere, and that changes the job. Large bay windows, tall sashes, leaded fanlights and glazed porches are all common. Big units are heavier, need more care getting in, and often need a specific glass specification rather than whatever is nearest. Newer estates around Walmley and Mere Green are a different story again — standard sizes, and mostly on their first replacement units.
Conservation areas and period detail
Parts of Sutton sit in conservation areas, and there are houses here where the glazing is part of the character of the street. Where original detail matters, the aim is to match what's there — the pattern, the lead, the sightlines — rather than substitute something that stands out.
Misted units in bays and large panes
A blown unit is more visible in a big window, and there is more of it to look at. The fix is the same as anywhere: measure the failed unit, make up new glass and fit it into the existing frame.
Doors, porches and glazed side panels
Front doors with glazed panels, glazed porches and side lights are all common around here, and all of them can be reglazed without touching the door itself. Safety glass is required in and beside doors, and at low level generally.
Common questions
Do you work in conservation areas?
Yes. Where a property sits in a conservation area the sensible route is to match the existing glazing as closely as possible. Tell us what you've got and we'll talk you through the options.
Is glass beside a door different from a window?
Yes — glass in a door, beside a door and at low level has to be safety glass. It's a Building Regulations requirement, not an upsell.
Which parts of Sutton do you cover?
All of it, plus the edges — Boldmere, Walmley, Four Oaks, Mere Green, Wylde Green, New Hall, Streetly, Little Aston and Minworth.
