Things to think about

Insurance

Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.

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

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.

Broken glass replacement in Glasgow and Clyde: questions

Which towns in Glasgow and Clyde do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Glasgow and Clyde, including Glasgow, Paisley, Greenock, Bearsden and Newton Mearns, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.
