Getting the best result
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Insurance
Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.
How it works

Broken glass replacement in Diss: questions
Can you visit addresses near Diss?
Yes. As well as Diss, we can arrange visits in nearby Wymondham, Stowmarket and Thetford. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
