Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

For a broken pane in Reading or anywhere in Berkshire, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim. A cracked pane in your Reading shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 85 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in RG1, RG4, RG6 are planned alongside Wokingham and Bracknell.

What do we fix in Reading?

Sealed double-glazed unitThe whole unit is replaced at the same overall thickness so that it fits the existing glazing pocket.
Fanlights and high panesPanes above the door or display window are replaced with suitable access equipment, agreed in advance if the pavement is affected.
Upgrade after a break-inYou can move up to laminated or BS EN 356 rated glass, provided the frame can carry the weight and the rebate is deep enough.

What does it cost in Reading?

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.

If a shop in Reading or elsewhere in Berkshire needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Reading site clean.

Common questions

Do you work in RG1, RG4, RG6?

Yes. Reading and the RG1, RG4, RG6 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Berkshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

Can I switch to stronger glass while the pane is out?

Yes, provided the frame and glazing pocket can take it. Laminated and anti-bandit glass is thicker and heavier than a standard pane, so we check the rebate, the beads and the frame first. If the frame cannot carry it, we will tell you what would need changing.

How long does replacement glass take?

Replacement shop glass typically takes from a few days to a few weeks, because each pane is made to measure. Toughened and special panes tend to take longer than a simple laminate. We confirm the typical lead time with your price and can board the opening meanwhile.

What do I do if my shop in Reading 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.
