Can You Replace Glass in Hard-to-Reach Windows?
For homeowners with skylights, high stairway windows, or large panes above conservatories, the thought of glass replacement can be daunting. Fortunately, replacing glass in windows located in hard-to-access areas is not only possible but relatively common with the right tools, expertise, and safety measures.
Why Height or Location Doesn’t Have to Be a Barrier
Modern window repair professionals use a variety of access methods to safely reach and replace glass at altitude or in awkward positions. These include:
Telescopic ladders and towers: Ideal for reaching second-storey or loft-level windows.
Scaffolding or cherry pickers: Used for extended jobs or where long reach and stability are necessary—common for commercial properties or large domestic buildings.
Internal access where possible: Many windows, particularly tilt-and-turn types, allow internal removal for safe repairs from inside the property.
Common Hard-to-Reach Areas We Service
These are some of the trickiest spots for glass replacement, all of which can be handled safely with professional help:
Skylights and roof lanterns
Stairwell or landing windows above 2 storeys
Greenhouse or conservatory roof panes
Windows above large staircases or voids
Glass panels integrated into architectural features
