Shop window glass replacement in Hitchin
If a shop in Hitchin or elsewhere in Hertfordshire needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work.
Replacement panes for shops in Hitchin and across Hertfordshire are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price. A cracked pane in your Hitchin shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first.
Hitchin is around 80 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include SG6, and we also cover Letchworth, Stevenage and Luton nearby.

What does it cost in Hitchin?
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 Hitchin shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Hitchin shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Can you come out to Hitchin for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Hitchin. 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.
Will my insurer pay for a new shop window?
Your insurer decides that, and we cannot promise a claim will be paid. We can provide photos of the damage and an itemised invoice for them to consider. Some glass policies use their own contractors, so ask your insurer before you book the replacement.
What do I do if my shop in Hitchin 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.
