Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

New glass for a shop in County Durham must suit its position, so we check whether door panes and low-level panes need safety glass before ordering. A cracked pane in your County Durham shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first.

What do we fix in County Durham?

Sealed double-glazed unitThe whole unit is replaced at the same overall thickness so that it fits the existing glazing pocket.
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.
Fanlights and high panesPanes above the door or display window are replaced with suitable access equipment, agreed in advance if the pavement is affected.

How much does it cost in County Durham?

Expect £195 to £895 ex VAT per pane. If a shop in County Durham or elsewhere in the North East needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of County Durham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across County Durham, including Bishop Auckland, Chester-le-Street, Consett, Darlington.

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.

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.
