Things to think about
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Glazing rules in Scotland
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for Scottish premises, stock and cash, and may name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B. Get the wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we supply the manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.

Broken glass replacement in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray: questions
Which towns in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and Moray, including Aberdeen, Elgin, Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Peterhead, and in other towns across the area.
Do you board up broken windows?
Where the opening cannot be left and an installer is available, we can arrange temporary boarding until the new glass is fitted.
How quickly can broken glass be replaced?
The new glass has to be made to measure, so lead times depend on the type and size. Temporary boarding can be arranged where an installer is available; we do not promise a fixed response time.
Should I replace broken glass with laminated glass?
If the pane was broken in a break-in, yes, usually. Laminated glass holds together when struck, so the same route is much harder to use again.
