Essex runs from Chelmsford and Colchester's town-centre retail and Georgian streets to Southend's seafront and large post-war and new-build estates in Basildon and Harlow.
Common situations:
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
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 England
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.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
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 Loughton: questions
Can you work in Loughton?
Work in Loughton is arranged individually because of travel. Send your postcode and details and we will confirm what is possible.
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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
