Frameless Shower Enclosures, Balustrades & Bespoke Glazing in Greenwich
Greenwich runs from Georgian townhouses around the park and market to glass-walled apartments on the Peninsula, and KP Glazing works across all of it.
Bespoke glazing in Greenwich
Over twenty years fitting frameless shower enclosures, glass balustrades, bespoke mirrors and heritage-style windows and doors across South London means we know how differently a period terrace and a new-build riverside flat need to be handled. Every job is surveyed, fabricated and fitted by our own team, with a clear, itemised quote usually within 48 hours.
Greenwich is one of the more varied areas we work in: Georgian terraces around the historic core and the park, Victorian streets further towards Charlton and Westcombe Park, and new-build apartment blocks along the Peninsula. Our core services here are frameless shower enclosures, glass balustrades, heritage and steel-look windows and doors, bespoke mirrors, glass office partitions, and aluminium windows and doors. The same team surveys, fabricates and fits every job, whether that’s matching a heritage profile in a conservation area townhouse or fitting a shower screen into a compact new-build bathroom.

Common Problems in Greenwich
From tall Georgian hallways to compact new-build bathrooms and hallways on the Peninsula, Greenwich properties rarely come in standard mirror sizes. We cut mirrors to the exact dimensions and shape you need, in clear, tinted or antiqued finishes, whether that’s a piece designed to sit inside a period alcove near the park or a full-height mirror that makes the most of a smaller new-build bedroom.
- Tall Georgian sash windows around the historic core losing heat and rattling, but needing conservation-area-appropriate replacements rather than standard uPVC
- Period bathrooms in Georgian and Victorian houses with awkward layouts that off-the-shelf shower enclosures don't fit
- New-build apartments on the Peninsula with precisely dimensioned bathrooms where a standard enclosure size leaves an awkward gap
- Balcony and terrace balustrades on riverside apartment blocks needing safety-compliant glass that doesn't block the view
- River-facing properties dealing with exposure and damp affecting older timber window frames
- Open-plan new-build flats where working from home means separating a work area without losing natural light
- Rear extensions in the Victorian streets replacing older French doors with bifold or sliding aluminium doors

Most Requested Greenwich Glazing Services
Frameless shower enclosures in Greenwich
Greenwich bathrooms fall into two very different categories, and we fit both regularly. In the Georgian and Victorian streets around the town centre and towards Westcombe Park, bathrooms are often period conversions with generous but irregular proportions, sloped ceilings, or awkward alcoves.
On the Peninsula and around Enderby Wharf, new-build apartments tend to have compact, precisely dimensioned bathrooms where every centimetre counts and a standard off-the-shelf enclosure often doesn’t fit the wall-to-wall span exactly. Either way, we survey the actual space before fabricating anything, in toughened safety glass, frameless or semi-frameless, in clear, low-iron or tinted finishes. For period properties in the Greenwich Town Centre conservation area, we can also advise on finishes and fixings that won’t look out of place against original tiling and joinery.
Glass office partitions in Greenwich
With so many new-build apartments on the Peninsula built as open-plan one and two-bedroom layouts, a lot of Greenwich residents are working from a corner of the living room rather than a dedicated study.
Frameless and acoustic glass partitions let you section off a working area without losing the light that these apartments are usually built around, or blocking the river or park views that came with the flat. In the older houses further from the river, the same partitions work well for converting box rooms or landings into a proper home office.
Glass balustrades in Greenwich
Greenwich’s Georgian townhouses often have grand staircases that benefit from a lighter touch than heavy original banisters, particularly where a loft or basement conversion has added extra floors.
On the Peninsula, glass balustrades come up constantly for balconies and terraces on the newer apartment blocks, where river views are the whole point of the flat and a solid parapet would block them. We offer channel-fixed frameless glass for a completely clean line and post-mounted systems where the structure calls for it, and we check what the balustrade needs to fix into, whether that’s period masonry, a modern concrete slab, or a steel-framed balcony, before we fabricate anything.
Heritage & steel-look windows & doors in Greenwich
The historic core of Greenwich sits within a conservation area built around some of London’s best-known Georgian architecture, so replacement glazing on period properties here has to look the part.
Our heritage and steel-look range uses slim-section profiles that echo traditional Georgian glazing bars and Crittall-style screens, which suits internal doors, garden room screens and period-appropriate window replacements far better than a standard modern frame. It’s a look that also works well in the newer developments closer to the river, where a lot of the architecture deliberately references Greenwich’s industrial and maritime past with black steel-look detailing.
Why Greenwich 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. Bifold and sliding doors are popular on rear extensions in the Victorian streets towards Charlton and Kidbrooke, where they open smaller gardens up to more light. Walk-on glass and privacy screens come up more often in the newer riverside developments, particularly for roof terraces and light wells designed into the more architecturally ambitious Peninsula schemes.

Frequently Asked Together
Much of central Greenwich sits within a conservation area built around its Georgian architecture, so replacement windows and doors on period properties often need to meet specific design guidance. We can advise on what's likely to apply before you commit to a design, though the final decision sits with the Royal Borough of Greenwich's planning team.
Many of the newer developments are leasehold with a management company overseeing alterations to balconies, balustrades and internal layouts. It's worth checking your lease before work starts. We're happy to provide technical specifications if your management company needs to sign off the work.
In most cases, yes, but it depends on the balcony's construction. We check this during the survey and will flag anything that needs sign-off from a structural engineer or the building's management company before we quote.
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 properties. 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.
No. The same team that surveys your property fabricates the glass and fits it, so there's no handoff between different crews.
Alongside Greenwich itself, we regularly work in Blackheath, Charlton, Kidbrooke, Westcombe Park, East Greenwich, Deptford, Woolwich and Lewisham.
