Dumfries and Galloway is rural, with Dumfries and Stranraer as the main towns, sandstone market towns such as Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright, and coastal properties along the Solway.

- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Glass damaged during building work
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
Before the visit
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Like for like or upgrade
Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next time.
What the rules say 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.

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.
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.
