Glass Replacement in Wolverhampton

For standard toughened glass in common thicknesses, we can typically source and install a replacement within 24 to 48 hours of measurement. Sealed double-glazed units require three to five working days for manufacture. Laminated, security-rated, or large-format glass may take five to ten working days. In all cases, we can install emergency boarding within hours to secure the premises until the permanent glass is ready.

In most cases, yes. If the aluminium or steel frame is undamaged and structurally sound, we remove the broken glass, clean the frame rebates, and install the replacement pane with new gaskets and weather seals. This is significantly less expensive and disruptive than a full shopfront replacement. If we find frame damage during the glass removal, we will advise you before proceeding.

Unfortunately not. Misting in a double-glazed unit indicates that the perimeter seal has failed, allowing moist air into the cavity. The moisture condenses on the inner glass surfaces and cannot be removed by cleaning. The only effective remedy is to replace the entire sealed unit with a new one manufactured to the correct specification. We measure and order the replacement DGU and install it with minimal disruption.

Yes. Under the Building Regulations (Approved Document K) and BS 6262, all glazing in critical locations — which includes doors, side panels within 300 mm of a door, and any glazing below 800 mm from floor level — must use safety glass conforming to BS EN 12600. For most commercial shopfronts, toughened safety glass to BS EN 12150-1 is the minimum specification. We verify compliance for every panel we replace and can advise on whether an upgrade to laminated or security-rated glass is appropriate for your situation.
