Hornsby sits where the apartment towers around the station meet streets of Federation homes on big, leafy blocks, with bushland never far away. Those three settings each break glass in their own way, and each needs a different answer.<\/p>

Amrah Glass & Aluminium repairs and replaces window glass across the area. All glass to AS 1288, a fixed price agreed first, and nothing left open overnight.<\/p>

Branches, trees and who pays<\/h3>

The tree cover is why people live here, and it’s also our most common storm call-out. A gum drops a limb, the limb finds a window, and the pane goes through.<\/p>

If the tree is yours, it’s a straightforward home insurance matter. Photograph the damage before anything is cleared, including the branch where it landed, then get an itemised quote.<\/p>

If the tree belongs to your neighbour, the picture is less simple than most people assume. A neighbour is generally not automatically liable just because their tree dropped a limb onto your property. Liability usually turns on whether they knew, or should have known, that the tree was dangerous and did nothing about it. A visibly dead limb that had been raised with them in writing is a very different situation from a healthy tree losing a branch in a storm.<\/p>

In practice, most people claim on their own insurance and let the insurers work it out. If you’ve previously written to your neighbour or to council about that tree, keep those messages, because they matter.<\/p>

What we do either way is get the opening closed the same day and give you paperwork an insurer will accept. Before you touch anything, clearing broken glass safely<\/a> is worth a quick read, especially with debris mixed through it.<\/p>

Apartments: the window safety rules people forget<\/h3>

Hornsby and Waitara have a lot of unit blocks, and there’s a legal point worth knowing.<\/p>

NSW strata law requires owners corporations to have compliant window safety devices fitted to openable windows where a child could fall, generally those more than two metres above the surface outside. The device has to limit the opening to about 12.5 centimetres and resist being forced by a child, while still being releasable by an adult.<\/p>

A few things that follow from that:<\/p>
