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.
What we look at
- Written description of the work for insurance claims
- Bead and frame checks while the glass is out
- Sealed units, single panes and shop panes
- Glass disposal included
- Temporary boarding where an installer is available
- Loose and broken glass removed safely
Visits in Gloucester and nearby
We arrange broken glass replacement visits across Gloucester and the GL1 postcode district, and in nearby Cheltenham (7 miles), Stroud (8 miles) and Tewkesbury.
Gloucestershire pairs Cheltenham's Regency terraces and shopping promenades with Gloucester's docks and city centre, and Cotswold-stone towns where conservation areas shape window changes.
Typical reasons to book:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
Things to think about
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.
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.
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 Gloucester: questions
Do you cover Cheltenham as well as Gloucester?
Yes. As well as Gloucester, we can arrange visits in nearby Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
