Common questions
How quickly can someone attend an emergency shopfront repair?
We aim to have an engineer on the way as soon as your call is taken. Attendance time depends on where you are and how many call-outs are already running, and we will tell you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a guess.
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.
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 Dorset?
Pricing is the same across South West: 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.
