Shop window glass replacement in Exeter

If a shop in Exeter or elsewhere in Devon needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work.

Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

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

Exeter is around 144 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in EX1, EX2, EX3 are planned alongside Exmouth and Tiverton.

What can we sort out in Exeter?

Sealed double-glazed unitThe whole unit is replaced at the same overall thickness so that it fits the existing glazing pocket.
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.
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.

What does it cost in Exeter?

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.

New glass for a shop in Exeter must suit its position, so we check whether door panes and low-level panes need safety glass before ordering. 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 work in EX1, EX2, EX3?

Yes. Exeter and the EX1, EX2, EX3 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Devon. 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.

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 Exeter 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.
