Question 1

How do I get a quotation?

Accepted Answer

Every glazing project is different — opening sizes, glass specification, and hardware all shape the final quotation. We provide a detailed quotation after your glazing consultation so you know exactly what is included before any work begins.

Question 2

What does a glazing consultation involve?

Accepted Answer

A consultation is a calm, no-obligation visit to your home. We discuss your brief, survey the openings, and talk through options for bi-fold doors, roof lanterns, shower screens, or window replacement. You leave with clarity on scope, indicative timelines, and next steps — whether or not you choose to proceed.

Question 3

How long does a glazing project take from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by product. Shower screens may be measured and installed within a few weeks; bi-fold doors, roof lanterns, and structural glass typically require longer manufacture lead times. We agree a clear programme at quotation stage and keep you informed throughout.

Question 4

Do you install bi-fold doors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bi-fold doors are one of our most popular products — ideal for opening rear extensions and living spaces to the garden. We survey on site, specify the system to suit your opening, and install with attention to threshold detail, drainage, and smooth operation.

Question 5

Can you supply and fit shower screens?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We measure frameless and semi-frameless shower screens on site for a precise, watertight fit. Hardware finishes and glass treatments are discussed during your consultation so the enclosure complements your bathroom.

Question 6

Do you replace windows in period properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly upgrade windows in Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian homes across Hertfordshire, improving thermal and acoustic performance while respecting original proportions and architectural character.

Question 7

Which areas of Hertfordshire do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We work across Hertfordshire, including St Albans, Harpenden, Hertford, Watford, Berkhamsted, Hitchin, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Hoddesdon, Ware, Bishop's Stortford, and surrounding towns. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, please get in touch.

Question 8

What guarantees do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Our installations are covered by a workmanship guarantee, and manufactured products carry their manufacturer's warranty. We explain guarantee terms clearly in your quotation so you know what is covered before work begins.

Question 9

How disruptive is glazing installation?

Accepted Answer

We plan installation to minimise disruption to your home. Shower screen fitting is typically completed in a single visit; bi-fold doors and window replacement are sequenced carefully with protection for floors and furnishings. We discuss access, timing, and what to expect during your consultation.

Question 10

Do you handle building regulations and structural requirements?

Accepted Answer

Where glazing forms part of a structural opening or extension, we advise on specification and coordinate with your builder or architect as needed. We flag any building regulation considerations during the survey so there are no surprises later.

Question 11

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hertfordshire Glass operates with full public liability and employers' liability insurance. We are happy to provide documentation on request.

Question 12
