For a broken pane in Washington or anywhere in Tyne and Wear, we can provide photos and an itemised invoice for your insurer, who then decides on any claim.

Smashed shop window with glass on the pavement

Smashed glass at a Washington shop goes through our 24/7 emergency line, and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Replacement panes for shops in Washington and across Tyne and Wear are made to measure, and we confirm the typical lead time when we give you the price.

Washington is around 164 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover NE37, NE38 and the surrounding streets, along with Chester-le-Street, Hebburn and Sunderland.

What do we fix in Washington?

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

What does it cost in Washington?

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 Washington or elsewhere in Tyne and Wear needs stronger glass after a break-in, we check the frame can carry it before pricing the work. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Washington job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in NE37, NE38?

Yes. Washington and the NE37, NE38 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Tyne and Wear. 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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Washington 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.
