Visits in Leicester and nearby
We can arrange broken glass replacement across Leicester, the main centre for Leicestershire, and in nearby towns including Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.
Leicestershire combines Leicester's city-centre and suburban shopping streets and Victorian terraces with market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough.
Typical reasons to book:
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Glass damaged during building work
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Broken glass replacement in Leicester: questions
Do you cover Oadby as well as Leicester?
We can arrange work in Leicester and in nearby Oadby (3 miles), Wigston (4 miles) and Loughborough (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.

We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
