Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

A cracked pane in your St Albans shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first. For a broken pane in St Albans or anywhere in Hertfordshire, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim.

Work in St Albans is run from Birmingham, roughly 86 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover AL1, AL2 and the surrounding streets, along with Hatfield, Hemel Hempstead and Welwyn Garden City.

Which faults do we deal with in St Albans?

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.
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 St Albans?

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 St Albans must suit its position, so we check whether door panes and low-level panes need safety glass before ordering. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the St Albans job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in AL1, AL2?

Yes. St Albans and the AL1, AL2 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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 St Albans 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.
