How we work in Whitstable
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Whitstable identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Whitstable building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Key checks for Whitstable projects
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Insulating glass lead times
EI glass is laminated to size, so it can take longer to supply than integrity glass. We give you a realistic date.
Why it broke
Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.
Whitstable coverage and nearby towns
