Wallsend is about 3 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, the main centre for Tyne and Wear. We can arrange visits across the NE28 district and in nearby places such as Hebburn and Jarrow.
Tyne and Wear covers Newcastle's Grainger Town stone streets and quayside offices, the town centres of Sunderland and Gateshead, and large inter-war and post-war housing estates.

- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Windows smashed in a break-in or attempt
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
Things to think about
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Like for like or upgrade
Replacing broken toughened glass with laminated glass costs a little more and makes the same weakness much harder to exploit next 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.
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.

Broken glass replacement in Wallsend: questions
Do you cover Hebburn as well as Wallsend?
We can arrange work in Wallsend and in nearby Hebburn (1 mile), Jarrow (2 miles) and Felling (3 miles). 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.
