Replacement panes for shops in Braintree and across Essex are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price.

Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

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

Work in Braintree is run from Birmingham, roughly 114 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in CM7, CM77 are planned alongside Witham and Chelmsford.

Which faults do we deal with in Braintree?

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.
Fanlights and high panesPanes above the door or display window are replaced with suitable access equipment, agreed in advance if the pavement is affected.

What does it cost in Braintree?

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.

Smashed glass at a Braintree shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Braintree site clean.

Common questions

Can you come out to Braintree for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Braintree. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

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 Braintree 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.
