Questions people ask

How much does a glass balcony cost?

Every job is made to measure, so the price depends on the size, the glass and how it is fixed. We give you an exact price after a free site visit.

Do I need planning permission?

Often for a new raised balcony or roof terrace, and often not for a Juliet balcony or a replacement balustrade. We will tell you what applies and can supply drawings.

Will it meet Building Regulations?

Yes. We use toughened or laminated safety glass at the right height and thickness, and can supply test data for building control.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Essex, the wider South East and up to Cambridge. If you are just outside, ask us.

Can you replace an old balcony?

Yes. We strip out rotten timber or tired railings and fit new decking and glass.
