London Glazing Maintenance

Filed under: Glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 8:17 am November 30, 2011

Glazing Refurbishment is the firm favourite for knowledgeable professionals and managers in London and the City for glazing maintenance and refurbishment.

We regularly work on glazing maintenance projects in and around the Square Mile and other prestigious areas such as Bond Street and Canary Wharf. Companies in these areas know that their public image and facade is everything – damage, repairs that are shoddy or other unsightly features to the visible exterior of their premises mean that their brand, and by extension the company or institution itself, is damaged and tarnished and stained in the eyes of the public. Glazing Refurbishment can help your London business or organisation avoid such a public relations disaster by maintaining your glazing and external frontage to a highly professional standard.

In addition, we often carry out work in more suburban and residential areas for clients in districts such as Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Greenwich and others, meaning that are glazing maintenance skills are displayed in prominent private areas of London as well as its main public districts and attractions.

This mix of public and private experience has meant that Glazing Refurbishment have built up a reputation as a market leader in London glazing maintenance and as such as will likely have tackled a job, like the one you currently have in mind, already. If you are interested in seeing previous examples of our glazing maintenance work in London, please look around the site, or alternatively email us asking for examples of anything specific you might wish to see and we will be glad to help.

International Glazing Maintenance Firm

Filed under: Commercial glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 10:31 am October 30, 2011

Glazing Refurbishment is not a company that is limited by the boundaries imposed by land, sea or borders! As a forward thinking company and one with ambition burning richly through its blood, we are keen to show the world what we, as an organisation, can do. Recently we got the chance to demonstrate this to Austria and Europe as a whole by working on the Millennium Tower in Vienna.

In fact, this is but one page in a chapter of new foreign projects for Glazing Refurbishment and we have developed several strong bonds with leading international companies and institutions which will see us fly to other areas of Europe to work on high profile buildings and public facades. We will get to take on new challenges, see different architectural designs and impress a whole new audience with our skill, competence and attention to detail.

Of course, this experience has benefits for our clients back home. We will be getting to grips with an even wider variety of installations, fittings and buildings meaning that we can bring those skills back home and further improve the already sterling services we offer to our UK based clients. Glazing Refurbishment, as an intentional glazing maintenance firm, will, of course, always keep a strong foothold in the UK and treat it as our base of operations.

These exciting times mark a period of transition for the company as it evolves and expands into a recognised and well respected player in the international industry – one that is capable of solving both national and international glazing maintenance challenges.

Is your glazing prepared for winter?

Filed under: Glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 10:28 am

As anyone who has suffered the misfortune of a cracked car windscreen knows, temperature changes and the onset of winter represents the most difficult time of year for any form of glass or glazing and that includes business, corporate and public installations as well as the window of your hatchback or family saloon.

Blustering winds, freezing temperatures, constant rain and snow all take their toll on any building’s exterior, no matter how well designed. It is therefore vital that, as a premises manager or someone responsible for a building’s exterior, you consider how well prepared your glazing is if we suffer another winter as harsh as last year’s.

As well as the potential damage to the glazing itself, you could be at risk of suffering damage from water ingress, leaks or cracks as temperatures drop and the material in-between your glazing sheets is affected. Glazing Refurbishment not only repairs and replaces glass, but also the associated rubber fixings, bracketry and protective seals in order to maintain structural integrity and a water tight seal.

If you would like to know what state your glazing is in, you can also request that Glazing Refurbishment carries out a full structural report and audit of your existing glazing and fittings in order to see what may have gone wrong already and what may yet cause you or your institution problems in the future.

As such, Glazing Refurbishment offers a two-pronged assault on winter: prevention and cure. And whilst one is certainly better than none, a combination of both should mean that your glazing infrastructure remains safe and sound for another winter.

Filed under: Glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 12:15 pm July 27, 2011

The public sector takes just as much pride in the look of its glazing as the private sector and, with potentially many more stakeholders than most private companies, it is vitally important that a clean and presentable image is shown to the public at all times.

Glazing Refurbishment is highly experienced at offering the public sector what is important when it comes to glazing maintenance, cleaning and repair – a proven increase in safety, glass longevity, and a clear improvement in appearance, all whilst saving a significant amount of money over the equivalent replacement of panels, fixtures and fittings.

Hotels Glazing Maintenance and Repair

Filed under: Glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 2:51 pm June 29, 2011

If you’re the premises manager for a hotel or a chain of hotels then you will know very well about the importance of maintaining an immaculate visual appearance to your clients, particularly in the luxury sector. Glazing Refurbishment has extensive experience at providing glazing refurbishment, repair and maintenance to a huge number of hotels, both in London and across the country.

Most are all too aware of the benefits that well managed glazing can bring. Not only will it improve the aesthetics of a building and help to maintain a clean and presentable image of the hotel and the company, but it will also increase safety, the longevity of the glass, cladding and seals, and help to maintain the high life expectancy of quality glazing.

Glass Safety and Security Films

Filed under: Glazing refurbishment — webadmin @ 2:47 pm

In some areas, it’s simply not enough to have durable, high quality glazing at the front of your building or as part of security walls. The modern climate we live in dictates that companies need to be prepared for the unexpected. Glazing Refurbishment can help to make sure that your business is prepared for whatever glazing issues may come your way.

Security films are commonly deployed as part of the facade of buildings which are at risk from some sort of damage or where sensitive activities dictate a requirement of privacy. It is highly popular in the banking, insurance and legal worlds where a private, semi-anonymous corporate frontage can help to minimise security risks to the company and to its personnel.

Any building in major cities where there is a perceived risk of an explosive threat, no matter how remote, would also do well to include a safety or security film as part of their glazing and security review. Not only can it help to prevent the insides of a building from being visible to the outside, but the film can also help to hold dangerous glass shards together in the event of an explosion, helping to reduce the risks to those inside.

The film is also a vital part of day to day operations for many companies, thanks to its protective properties which negate the vulnerabilities of the glass to being attacked by vandals as it helps to protect against scratching and etching (‘dutching’) attacks.

Of course, all of our glass safety and security film installations comply to all relevant BS standards and are covered by our own comprehensive guarantees ensuring their quality and durability.

Glazing Maintenance for Schools and Academies

Filed under: Glazing maintenance — webadmin @ 10:19 am May 30, 2011

The government’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme meant a huge cash injection for many dreary 1950s and 60s buildings that were in need of vital repair and rebuild. Glass and grey brick was often replaced with airy, bright steel and sparkling glazing. Many schools now boast visages and exteriors that their impressive academic records demand – and it’s vital that such looks are kept in tip top condition.

Glazing Refurbishment have quickly become the industry experts in tackling glazing maintenance for schools and academies, having tackled a variety of challenging high level cleaning, repair, replacement and refurbishment tasks at a variety of former city academies and new build academies. Schools are changing their stereotypical image and Glazing Refurbishment are riding the crest of this wave with schools as it happens, sharing and disseminating our experience as we go, ensuring that schools have the most up to date knowledge and experience possible deployed on their problems.

As a company, we are keenly aware of the need for educational institutions to look their best and be completely safe. That’s why our specialist division for glazing maintenance in schools and academies was created. We offer expert advice and repair solutions to our clients because we’ve been there before, often with schools in a similar area.

Pupils and staff need to feel one hundred per cent safe and secure in their building. But as a headteacher or site manager, you know that your building’s exterior is vital in creating that all-important good first impression – whether it’s to new pupils, visiting parents or the Ofsted inspector. We can help you achieve this vision of perfection. Call Glazing Refurbishment today to discuss the range of solutions we have available.
