Replacement panes for shops in Dover and across Kent 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

For a broken pane in Dover or anywhere in Kent, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim. Smashed glass at a Dover shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 169 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in CT14, CT16, CT17 are planned alongside Folkestone and Deal.

Which faults do we deal with in Dover?

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.
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.
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.

What does it cost in Dover?

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.

A cracked pane in your Dover shop window can often be priced from photos and rough sizes, without anyone needing to visit first. 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 CT14, CT16, CT17?

Yes. Dover and the CT14, CT16, CT17 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.

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.

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.

Can you board up a shop in Dover out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Dover. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
