Repairs & emergency
Toughened and laminated pane replacement across the Midlands, from £480 plus VAT.
Free survey, no obligation.
Shopfront glass is toughened or laminated, never float, and must carry a kitemark in a critical location. Panes are ordered to the surveyed size, so a same-day swap is rarely possible on anything large.
Every job starts with a site survey, because a frontage measured off a photograph is a frontage that arrives wrong. We take the opening dimensions, check the lintel and the floor level, and confirm what the existing structure will carry before anything is ordered.
If you are fitting out more than one unit, say so at survey — pricing per opening usually improves once the same team is doing several.
Send the opening size and a photograph of the frontage and you will have an indication the same working day.
For a like-for-like replacement, usually not. You will need consent for a listed building, in a conservation area, or where you change the appearance of the frontage or add illuminated signage. We can tell you which applies at survey, though the application itself is between you and the council.
Yes. Overnight and closed-day installation is normal for units that cannot lose a trading day, and the premises are left secure at every stage of the work.
Yes. Shopfront glass must be toughened or laminated and kitemarked in a critical location, so panes are ordered to the surveyed size — which means a same-day swap is rarely possible on anything large. Boarding secures the opening in the meantime.
Any RAL colour on aluminium and steel. Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005) are the most common on high-street units, but the powder coater will match whatever your brand standard specifies.
On a parade where the landlord requires a consistent frontage, we work from the same section profiles and colour reference so the new unit reads as part of the row.
