Common questions
Can you replace the glass on the same visit?
Occasionally, for small standard panes. Most shopfront glass is toughened or laminated to size, so it has to be made after measuring; the premises is boarded or temporarily glazed until the new glass is ready.
Will you deal with my insurance company?
We give you the photographs, measurements and a written quotation your insurer normally asks for. The claim itself stays between you and your insurer, but we can speak to a loss adjuster if they need technical detail.
What should I do before the engineer arrives?
Keep people clear of broken glass, do not force a jammed door or shutter, and take photos if it is safe to do so. If you can, note any make or model shown on the door, closer or shutter motor.
How is emergency shopfront repairs priced in County Durham?
Pricing is the same across North East: a guide range up front and a fixed written price once the job has been measured. There is no extra charge for being outside a city centre.
