Emergency Glass Repair (24/7)

When glass is smashed, cracked, or broken unexpectedly, it creates an immediate safety and security risk. Whether it is a shattered window at your home or a damaged shopfront glass panel, urgent attention is needed to prevent injury, deter intruders, and protect your property from the elements. Hunters Glass Ltd offers a dedicated emergency glass repair service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing calm, professional support when you need it most.

Common Emergency Glass Issues That Need Immediate Repair

Not all glass damage requires emergency repair, but certain situations demand prompt action. Typical emergencies include:

• Smashed windows caused by accidents or break-ins

• Broken glass in doors that compromises security and safety

• Unsafe cracked panes that risk shattering without warning

• Failed shopfront glazing leaving commercial premises exposed

Any glass damage that poses a hazard to people or leaves your property vulnerable should be treated as an emergency. Leaving broken or cracked glass unattended can lead to injury, water ingress, or theft.

Immediate Safety Steps to Take Before Help Arrives

While waiting for Hunters Glass Ltd to attend your property, it is important to take simple precautions to keep everyone safe:

• Keep people and pets away from the damaged area to avoid cuts or accidents

• If safe to do so, wear protective gloves when handling broken glass or debris

• Use temporary containment such as thick plastic sheeting or cardboard to prevent glass shards from falling or blowing away

• Secure the area to prevent unauthorised access until professional help arrives

These steps help minimise risk and damage before our emergency glass repair experts arrive on site.

What to Expect When Hunters Glass Ltd Arrives

Our emergency glass repair service follows a clear, efficient process to secure your property and restore safety as quickly as possible:

1. Make Safe: We begin by carefully clearing hazardous glass fragments and making the site safe for occupants and passers-by.

2. Assess the Frame: Our team inspects the surrounding frame or structure to check for any damage that could affect the installation of replacement glass.

3. Measure and Survey: Accurate measurements are taken to ensure the replacement glass will fit perfectly, whether for a window, door, or shopfront panel.

4. Temporary Security: If a replacement cannot be fitted immediately, we secure the opening with a temporary fix to protect your property from weather and intrusion.

5. Arrange Replacement: We discuss the most suitable glass type and arrange for its manufacture or delivery, coordinating with you for the prompt completion of the repair.

Hunters Glass Ltd manages every stage with professionalism and care, keeping you informed throughout.

Types of Glass Used in Emergency Repairs

Choosing the right glass type depends on the location and purpose of the glazed area. Our emergency repairs commonly use:

Toughened Glass

Toughened glass is heat-treated to be stronger and safer than standard glass. When it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, reducing injury risk. It is commonly used for doors and windows where safety is a priority.

Laminated Glass

This glass consists of two or more layers bonded with a plastic interlayer. It holds together when broken, providing added security and noise reduction. Laminated glass is ideal for shopfronts and areas requiring impact resistance.

Wired or Fire-Rated Glass

In certain commercial or heritage properties, wired glass or fire-rated glass is required to meet safety regulations. These types offer fire resistance and structural integrity while allowing visibility.

Hunters Glass Ltd will advise on the appropriate glass type for your emergency repair without overpromising on stock availability or lead times.

Emergency Glass Repair FAQs

Can you repair glass, or do you always replace it?

In most emergency situations, broken or cracked glass cannot be safely repaired and requires replacement. Our priority is to make the area safe and then arrange an appropriate glass replacement that meets safety standards.

Do I need to contact my insurer before you attend?

It is advisable to notify your insurer about glass damage as soon as possible. Hunters Glass Ltd can provide documentation of the damage and repair work to support your claim, but you do not need insurer approval before we attend to make the site safe.

Will you board up the broken windows first?

Unlike boarding up services, our emergency glass repair focuses on making the glass safe and, where necessary, fitting temporary security solutions that are more secure and weather-resistant than boarding. For full boarding up, please see our boarding up service.

Do you provide emergency repairs on weekends and bank holidays?

Yes, Hunters Glass Ltd offers a 24/7 emergency glass repair service including weekends and bank holidays to respond to urgent situations whenever they arise.

How quickly can you attend my emergency glass repair?
