What can we sort out in Southend-on-Sea?

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

What does it cost in Southend-on-Sea?

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 Southend-on-Sea 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 SS0, SS1, SS2?

Yes. Southend-on-Sea and the SS0, SS1, SS2 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Southend-on-Sea 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.
