Emergency glass repair and boarding up in Glasgow
A broken window is a security problem before it is a glazing problem. The first job is getting you secure and weathertight, the second is putting the right glass back in.
Break-ins, storm damage, a stone off a mower, a ball through the front room. However it happened, the priority is the same: nobody should be able to get in and the weather should stay out. We board up first, then measure and order the correct glass so the permanent repair is done properly rather than bodged.
If it is a shopfront or a rented property, tell us when you call. Commercial glass and communal close windows often have to meet requirements a house does not, and getting that right first time saves a second visit.
Signs you need this
- Smashed or cracked pane after a break-in

How the job runs
- 1Make it safe
Broken glass out, the opening boarded and secured. This is the bit that cannot wait.
- 2Measure and order
We measure for the correct replacement, including toughened or laminated where it is needed by regulation.
- 3Glaze it properly
Board comes off, new glass goes in, and we clear the debris rather than leaving it in your garden.
What it costs
Emergency work is priced on the callout plus the glass. Ring rather than fill in a form if you are insecure right now, it is quicker.

Can you board it up tonight and glaze it later?
Yes, and that is usually the sensible order. Boarding makes you secure straight away; the correct glass is then measured and fitted without rushing it.
Will my insurance cover this?
Often yes, for break-ins and storm damage. We can give you a written quote and invoice with the work itemised, which is normally what insurers ask for.
Do you do communal closes and shopfronts?
Yes. Tell us when you ring, because those often need toughened or laminated safety glass rather than standard float.
