Forth Valley covers Stirling's historic old town, Falkirk's town centre and industrial areas, and smaller towns such as Alloa and Grangemouth with a mix of tenements and post-war housing.
Common situations:
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Glass damaged during building work
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.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Safety glass in critical locations
In Scotland, standard 4.8 of the Building Standards technical handbooks covers glazing at risk of human impact. Panes within 800 mm of floor level, in a door leaf, or within 300 mm of a door leaf and up to 1.5 m above the floor should resist impact in line with BS 6262-4, or be guarded. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual ways to meet it.
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.
How it works
- Describe the damage and send a photo

Broken glass replacement in Alloa: questions
Can you visit addresses near Alloa?
Yes. As well as Alloa, we can arrange visits in nearby Stirling, Grangemouth and Falkirk. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
