What is included
- Like-for-like or laminated security upgrade
- Measuring and ordering of made-to-measure glass

Visits in Wolverhampton and nearby
Wolverhampton is about 12 miles from Birmingham, the main centre for West Midlands. We can arrange visits across the WV1 district and in nearby places such as Wednesfield and Willenhall.
The West Midlands spans Birmingham's city-centre offices and shopping streets, Coventry's post-war precincts, Black Country terraces and long suburban high streets in Wolverhampton and Dudley.
Typical reasons to book:
- Shop windows cracked by vandalism
- Cracked panes from settlement or impact
- Doors and side panels broken by accident
- Glass damaged during building work
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.
Making safe first
If the opening cannot be left, temporary boarding protects the building while the new glass is made.
Glazing rules in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
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.

Broken glass replacement in Wolverhampton: questions
Do you cover Wednesfield as well as Wolverhampton?
We can arrange work in Wolverhampton and in nearby Wednesfield (2 miles), Willenhall (3 miles) and Tipton (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
What happens to the broken glass?
We remove and dispose of it safely as part of the job.
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.
