Getting the best result
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.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for premises, stock and cash in Northern Ireland, and may name a glazing class in the policy. Get the wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo
- Visit price confirmed
- Measure and make safe if needed
- Glass agreed, ordered and fitted
Broken glass replacement in Derry: questions
Do you cover Strabane as well as Derry?
Yes. As well as Derry, we can arrange work in nearby Strabane. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can you give me paperwork for my insurer?
Yes. We provide a written description of the damage, the work and the glass fitted, which you can send with your claim.
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.
