GlassPlus was recently commissioned to complete a specialist double glazing repair at Longsands School in St Neots. The task involved replacing two large double-glazed units installed on the third floor of the building. Due to their size and height, the project required careful planning and the use of specialist lifting equipment.
The school needed the new panes to match the original specification to maintain both appearance and thermal performance.Commercial window repairs refer to professional glazing services specifically designed for businesses, offering rapid response solutions for broken or damaged glass in shops, offices, and commercial properties.
These services are essential because damaged glazing can disrupt business operations, compromise security, and affect the overall appearance of your premises.
GlassPlus provides fast, efficient repairs, ensuring minimal downtime and helping maintain a safe and professional environment. Their team works promptly, assessing the damage, providing temporary protection if needed, and completing repairs to the highest standard.
Before any work began, our team carried out a detailed site survey. This allowed us to take precise measurements, assess access challenges, and determine the safest method for handling such large units at height. Early planning was essential to ensure we could complete the replacement efficiently while keeping disruption to the school day to a minimum. Safety remained a key priority throughout the preparation process.
Given the elevated position of the glazing, cranage and specialist access equipment were required to lift and manoeuvre the units safely. Our experienced installation team coordinated the operation meticulously, ensuring the heavy panes were handled securely from start to finish. This approach protected both the building and everyone on site, allowing the work to proceed smoothly without compromising safety.



A crucial aspect of the project was ensuring the replacement panes matched the original glass in appearance, design, and performance. The new units were manufactured to the same specification, maintaining uniformity across the façade and preserving the building’s insulation standards. Thanks to proper planning and coordination, we completed the full installation within a single day, successfully removing the damaged panes and fitting the new ones with minimal disruption.
The completed installation restored the school’s façade and ensured long-lasting thermal efficiency and clarity. This project highlights our team’s ability to manage complex glazing repairs safely and efficiently, even when working at height or dealing with challenging access conditions. At GlassPlus, we offer a complete service covering survey, design, installation, and repair for projects of all sizes.
