- Measuring and ordering of made-to-measure glass
- Bead and frame checks while the glass is out

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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.
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 Wellingborough: questions
Do you cover Rushden as well as Wellingborough?
Yes. As well as Wellingborough, we can arrange visits in nearby Rushden, Kettering and Northampton. 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.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
