The job

What we walked into, and what we did.

The problem

A rock through the main display window of a Church Street shopfront just after close left the premises open to the street overnight, with stock on display and an alarm that would not set on a broken contact.

Our approach

A glazier was on site within the hour. We cleared the broken glass safely, fitted a tight board-up so the alarm could set and the shop was secure, and measured the opening for a made-to-measure laminated safety-glass panel. We re-glazed after hours three days later so the shop never lost a trading day, and handled the photos the insurer needed.

The result

The shopfront is back to its original look in laminated safety glass that holds together if it is ever struck again. The owner had photos and an itemised invoice for the claim, and lost no trading time.
