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
- Sealed units, single panes and shop panes
- Measuring and ordering of made-to-measure glass
- Written description of the work for insurance claims
- Temporary boarding where an installer is available
- Like-for-like or laminated security upgrade
- Bead and frame checks while the glass is out

This work suits:
- Glass damaged during building work
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
Before the visit
Check the frame
Break-ins often damage beads, hinges and locks too. We check and quote for those at the same time.
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
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 Abingdon: questions
Which areas near Abingdon do you cover?
Yes. As well as Abingdon, we can arrange visits in nearby Didcot, Oxford and Witney. 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.
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.
