Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

Replacement panes for shops in Chatham and across Kent are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price. A cracked pane in your Chatham shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first.

Work in Chatham is run from Birmingham, roughly 131 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Chatham work takes in ME1, ME2, ME4. Neighbouring Medway and Gillingham are covered too.

What do we fix in Chatham?

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.
Glass door panelDoor glass sits in a critical location, so the replacement must be safety glass of the right impact class.

What does it cost in Chatham?

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.

If a shop in Chatham or elsewhere in Kent needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work. 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 ME1, ME2, ME4?

Yes. Chatham and the ME1, ME2, ME4 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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 Chatham 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.
