Emergency make-safe

Keep away from the damaged opening and arrange for it to be temporarily made safe first. Permanent repair or replacement is considered separately after the damage has been assessed.

Shopfront repairs for broken glass, frames and doors

Smashed shopfront glass, a broken frame or a damaged door needs securing now. We handle shopfront repairs and answer the phone 24 hours a day. Tell us the postcode and we confirm the arrival time and give you a clear, free quote before any work starts.

We secure the shopfront now, then arrange the permanent repair

We first make the shopfront safe and secure. We board broken glass, doors and shopfront openings, using stock and fixings carried in our fully equipped van.

Boarding is the make-safe stage. It secures the property while the permanent glass, frame or door repair follows. We coordinate the work around your trading hours.

Tell us which entrance customers and staff use when you call.

We repair shopfront glass, frames and doors

We handle broken shopfront glass, damaged frames and doors. The same incident can affect more than one part of the frontage, so tell us everything that has moved, cracked or stopped closing.

If the door or lock took the force, we secure the door, frame and lock. Our emergency door repair page explains that service.

After forced entry, we make the shopfront safe first and then handle the permanent repairs. Report the break-in to the police, get the crime reference number and keep it for the insurance claim. Our burglary damage repairs page covers the wider repair work.

Tell us whether broken glass is still in the frame or across the entrance. Tell us whether the door shuts and locks.

What to tell us when you call

Tell us your opening hours, when the busiest periods fall and which entrance customers, staff and deliveries use.

Describe whether the glass, frame or door is broken. You can send WhatsApp photos to show us the damage.

We attend at any hour, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Give us the postcode and we confirm the arrival time on the call.

Paperwork for commercial and insurance claims

For an insurance claim, we supply an itemised invoice with before and after photographs. Keep your crime reference number to submit with your claim paperwork.

Commercial accounts receive itemised invoicing and documentation for each visit. If you manage several shops or a portfolio, read about our commercial accounts.
