Frameless Shower Enclosures, Balustrades & Steel-Look Glazing in Sidcup
Sidcup’s streets of 1930s semis, many still with their original Crittall-style windows, are exactly the kind of property KP Glazing has spent over twenty years fitting glazing into.

Common Problems in Sidcup
Sidcup’s semis often have bathrooms and hallways with slightly non-standard proportions, especially where a house has been extended or reconfigured over the years. We cut mirrors to the exact size and shape needed, in clear, tinted or antiqued finishes, rather than working from a standard range, so a piece fits properly whether it’s going into an original bathroom or a newly renovated one.
- Original 1930s steel-framed Crittall-style windows that have rusted, become draughty, or are difficult to open after decades of use
- Bathrooms and en-suites in semis with slightly irregular layouts where standard shower enclosure sizes don't fit properly
- Loft conversions adding a third bedroom or office, needing a new staircase and balustrade that doesn't shrink the landing
- Garage conversions used as home offices or gyms that need natural light and sound separation from the rest of the house
- Rear extensions opening onto generous gardens, needing bifold or sliding doors to make the most of the space
- Conservation area guidance around parts of Sidcup's older High Street affecting what replacement glazing is acceptable
- Semis extended or reconfigured over the decades, leaving few walls or floors perfectly square for standard fittings

Most Requested Sidcup Glazing Services
Frameless shower enclosures in Sidcup
A lot of Sidcup’s 1930s semis are being renovated with modernised bathrooms or new en-suites carved out of a spare bedroom, and the layouts vary a good deal from house to house depending on what’s already been altered.
We survey the actual space before fabricating anything, in toughened safety glass, frameless or semi-frameless, so the enclosure fits properly whether it’s going into an original family bathroom or a newly created en-suite. Standard sizing rarely accounts for the odd angles that come with retrofitting a shower into a room that wasn’t originally built for one.
Glass office partitions in Sidcup
With Sidcup’s mix of commuter families and generous garden space, home offices are increasingly common, whether that’s a converted garage, a garden room, or a section of a loft conversion.
Frameless and acoustic glass partitions let you section off a working area without losing natural light, which is particularly useful in garage conversions where windows are often limited. Acoustic partitioning is worth considering for busier households where a defined, quiet working space matters.
Glass balustrades in Sidcup
Loft conversions are common across Sidcup’s semis, adding a third bedroom or a home office under the roof, and a new staircase to reach it almost always needs a balustrade.
Glass balustrades keep the stairwell feeling open rather than cramped, which matters in these houses where hallways and landings tend to be narrower than the rest of the room layout suggests.
We fit both channel-fixed frameless glass and post-mounted systems, checking what the balustrade needs to fix into, timber, masonry or a mix from a previous alteration, before we fabricate anything.
Heritage & steel-look windows & doors in Sidcup
Many of Sidcup’s semis, particularly around the older parts of the town near the High Street conservation area, still have their original steel-framed Crittall-style windows, which look distinctive but are often rusting, draughty or difficult to open smoothly after decades of use.
Our heritage and steel-look range replicates that slim-profile look in modern, properly insulated glazing, which suits these houses far better than a bulky standard uPVC frame that would look out of place against the original brickwork and proportions. It’s a popular choice for anyone wanting to keep the character of a 1930s semi while fixing the practical problems that come with genuinely old steel frames.
Why Sidcup clients use KP Glazing
Beyond our core glazing work, we supply and fit aluminium windows, bifold and sliding doors, privacy screens and walk-on glass. Sidcup’s semis typically have generous rear gardens, and bifold or sliding doors are a popular way to open up a rear extension and bring more light into what’s usually a fairly traditional kitchen-diner layout. We also fit privacy screens for side returns and driveways where a semi sits close to its neighbour.

Frequently Asked Together
Yes, this is one of the most common requests we get in Sidcup. Our heritage and steel-look range replicates the slim profile of original Crittall-style windows in modern, properly insulated glazing, so the house keeps its character without the draughts and maintenance of genuinely old steel frames.
Some parts of Sidcup, particularly around the older High Street, fall within conservation area guidance that can affect replacement windows and doors. We can advise on what's likely to apply to your property before you commit to a design, though the final decision sits with Bexley Council's planning team.
It depends on the size and complexity of the job, but because every enclosure is made to measure after a survey, we'll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quote.
Yes, most of our work is in occupied homes. We survey and fabricate off-site wherever possible so the time spent on-site fitting is kept to a minimum, and our team works tidily and clears up after itself.
