ShopfrontEmergency shopfront repairs in Essex
Emergency shopfront repair is the work done in the first few hours after a shopfront is damaged: clearing broken glass, making the opening safe, securing the premises so it can be locked, and recording the damage for your insurer. Our engineers carry out this work for shops and commercial premises across Essex — Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester and Basildon among them.

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.
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.
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.
Can I get emergency shopfront repairs out of hours in Essex?
Emergency work to make premises safe is available out of hours. Non-urgent repairs are booked around your trading hours.
