What we do when we arrive

1. Make safeBroken glass cleared, the opening boarded or screened, the property secured. Usually within hours across M postcodes.
2. MeasureThe opening is measured for the correct glass — thickness, toughened or laminated, and whether it is a critical location under Part K.
3. GlazeThe correct unit is made and fitted. Standard glass is often same day; a toughened or sealed double glazed unit takes 24–72 hours to manufacture.

Emergencies we cover in Manchester

Break-insBoarded, secured, and the lock repaired or replaced. We can invoice itemised for your insurer.
Smashed or cracked glassCleared and made safe, then replaced with the correct safety glass specification.
Doors that will not lockUsually a dropped door or a failed gearbox rather than a broken lock — and repairable in one visit.
Storm damageManchester weather does its share. Wind-driven rain through a broken pane does more damage overnight than the broken pane itself.
Shopfronts and commercialBoarded, or fitted with a temporary glazed panel so the unit can keep trading while the permanent pane is made.

Why we won't just fit any glass

Glass in a door, in the panel beside a door, or below 800mm from floor level in a window, is a critical location under Approved Document K. It must be toughened or laminated safety glass, and it must be permanently marked as such. A glazier who fits ordinary float glass into a door because it was in the van is creating a serious injury risk and an invalid installation.

Frequently asked

How quickly can you get to me in Manchester?

Same day where we have a fitter free in your M postcode — usually within a few hours for a make-safe — and next day everywhere else in Greater Manchester. Boarding up and securing the property comes first; the permanent glazing follows once the correct unit has been made.

How much does an emergency glazier cost in Manchester?

Emergency boarding up typically runs £90–£180 per opening, and same-day glass replacement £120–£280 per standard pane. Toughened safety glass is £150–£350. Out-of-hours attendance carries a call-out premium, quoted before we come out.

Can you replace the glass on the same visit?

Sometimes. Ordinary float glass and some standard toughened sizes can be cut same day. A sealed double glazed unit, or anything toughened to a non-standard size, has to be manufactured — normally 24–72 hours. The opening is boarded and secure in the meantime.

Will my insurance cover it?

Emergency make-safe after a break-in or storm damage is normally covered under a standard buildings policy. Get a crime reference number first if it was a break-in, photograph the damage before anything is boarded, and keep the itemised invoice.
