- Glass panel loose, moving or wobbly
- Handrail loose or detached
- Cracked or broken balustrade glass (urgent)
- Corroded or failed fixings / clamps
- Gaps opening up between panels
Likely causes
Loosened or corroded fixings
Clamps, spigots and brackets loosen or corrode, especially outdoors and near pools.
Failed or cracked glass
Impact or stress damages a safety panel.
Movement in the substrate
The fixing base moves so the panel loosens.
Safety: This is the one to take seriously. A loose or cracked balustrade or railing that guards a drop is a fall hazard, keep people well clear of the affected section and do not lean on it. Tell us the location and drop in your enquiry so we prioritise a genuine safety issue.
What a photo tells us
Send a clear photo and we can usually gauge:
- Where the balustrade is and the drop it guards
- The fixing type and its condition
- Whether glass is cracked or a fixing has failed
Repair or replace?
Loose fixings are refixed or upgraded; cracked safety glass is replaced with the correct type. Because this is a barrier, we do not patch over a safety problem, we make it properly sound or advise replacement of the affected section.
