Before
After 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.

A closer look.
“Boarded up within the hour and re-glazed after hours so we never shut. Itemised invoice for the insurer too. Faultless.”

Tell us what is broken and send a photo. We give you a price, board up the opening the same day, then make the new glass to measure and fit it on a named day.
