Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

Smashed glass at a Dunstable shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. For a broken pane in Dunstable or anywhere in Bedfordshire, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 74 miles away, and send fitting teams across the East of England. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in LU6 are planned alongside Luton and Leighton Buzzard.

What do we fix in Dunstable?

Single-glazed shop windowA large pane of toughened or laminated glass is made to size and glazed into the existing frame, with new beads or gaskets where the old ones are worn.
Frameless door or panelToughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after toughening, so a new panel is made to match the existing holes and fittings.
Glass door panelDoor glass sits in a critical location, so the replacement must be safety glass of the right impact class.

What does it cost in Dunstable?

Replacing a shop window pane costs £195 to £895 ex VAT per pane. Size, thickness, glass type and access decide where you fall in that range, and photos with rough sizes are usually enough for a price. Where the pane or frame has to be seen in person, we arrange a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT, and confirm that cost before anyone comes out.

Replacement panes for shops in Dunstable and across Bedfordshire are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.

Common questions

Do you cover Dunstable?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Dunstable and across Bedfordshire, including LU6. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Why did my shop glass break with no impact?

Hidden edge damage and frame movement are the usual causes, and toughened glass can also fail from a tiny nickel sulphide inclusion, though that is rare. Annealed glass can crack from uneven heating when part of a pane sits in shade. We look for the cause before refitting.

Do I have to use safety glass in a shop window?

Yes, in many shopfront positions. Approved Document K in England treats glazing in doors, nearby side panels and low-level glazing as critical locations, and these need safety glass or protection. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we check what applies to your premises.

What do I do if my shop in Dunstable is broken into?

Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
