Guide prices for broken glass replacement in Poole are £174 to £714 including VAT (£145 to £595 plus VAT) per pane. The visit charge, from £174 including VAT (£145 plus VAT), is confirmed up front and deducted if you go ahead with the replacement.
Broken glass replacement means clearing a cracked or smashed pane, measuring the opening and fitting new glass, which is often the right moment to upgrade to laminated security glass. It covers windows, doors, shopfronts and screens in homes and businesses.

- Loose and broken glass removed safely
- Measuring and ordering of made-to-measure glass

Visits in Poole and nearby
Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth, the main centre for Dorset. We can arrange visits across the BH15 district and in nearby places such as Bournemouth and Christchurch.
Dorset covers Bournemouth and Poole's seafront hotels, offices and shopping streets, Georgian fronts in Weymouth, and stone market towns such as Dorchester, Bridport and Sherborne.
This work suits:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Glass damaged during building work
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
Before the visit
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Glazing rules in England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Broken glass replacement in Poole: questions
Which areas near Poole do you cover?
We can arrange work in Poole and in nearby Bournemouth (5 miles), Christchurch (9 miles) and New Milton (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
