Broken glass replacement in West Midlands

What is the price of broken glass replacement in West Midlands?

Replacing a broken pane in West Midlands usually costs £174 to £714 including VAT (£145 to £595 plus VAT), depending on size and glass type. The visit charge, from £174 including VAT (£145 plus VAT), is deducted from that price if the work goes ahead.

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.

Getting the best result

Insurance

Check your policy before ordering. Many insurers will pay for like for like; an upgrade may be at your own cost.

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.

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 West Midlands: questions

Which towns in West Midlands do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.

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.
