What to check before ordering fire glass replacement in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
