Shop window glass replacement in Edinburgh

Smashed glass at an Edinburgh shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

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

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 241 miles away, and send fitting teams across Scotland. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover EH1, EH2, EH3 and the surrounding streets, along with Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Livingston.

What do we fix in Edinburgh?

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.
Sealed double-glazed unitThe whole unit is replaced at the same overall thickness so that it fits the existing glazing pocket.

What does it cost in Edinburgh?

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.

Replacement panes for shops in Edinburgh and across Scotland are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Edinburgh site clean.

Common questions

Do you work in EH1, EH2, EH3?

Yes. Edinburgh and the EH1, EH2, EH3 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Scotland. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

Do the same rules apply in Scotland?

Rules differ in Scotland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.

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

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