Shop window glass replacement in Gravesend

Replacement panes for shops in Gravesend 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

New glass for a shop in Gravesend must suit its position, so we check whether door panes and low-level panes need safety glass before ordering. For a broken pane in Gravesend or anywhere in Kent, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim.

Gravesend is around 123 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 DA11, DA12, and we also cover Grays, Thurrock and Dartford nearby.

What do we fix in Gravesend?

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.
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.
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 Gravesend?

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 Gravesend 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

Can you come out to Gravesend for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Gravesend. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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 Gravesend 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.
