Key checks for Kettering projects

Interim arrangements

Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.

Why it broke

Repeated breakage can point to frame movement, door slamming or impact from trolleys. We look at the cause.

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.
