Frequently Asked Questions
How do you secure a broken window?
Board up with plywood, secure clear sheeting if you need light, or tape and seal cracked glass temporarily. The approach depends on the window and situation.
Will this keep weather out?
Yes - we seal properly so rain and wind can't get in. Not a permanent fix but your property stays dry and secure until the glazier can replace it.
Can you come same day?
Usually yes - broken windows are urgent. We prioritise these jobs because an unsecured window is a security risk.
What about the glass on the floor?
We carefully collect and dispose of broken glass as part of the job. Your property is left safe.
