Shopfront & Retail Glazing Repairs in London
A shop with a broken window or a front door that won't lock isn't just an inconvenience — it's lost trade and a security risk from the moment it happens. We repair and replace shopfront glazing across London and can board up the same day if the unit isn't secure until new glass is fitted.
- A smashed or cracked shopfront pane leaves the unit insecure and unsightly
- Trading can't stop for long, so downtime needs to be minimised
- Break-ins need immediate boarding to protect stock overnight
- Toughened glass to the right specification is required for shopfronts
- Aluminium shopfront doors and locks need parts that aren't always off the shelf
Retail glazing jobs usually come with a time pressure that residential ones don't — every hour the shopfront is boarded up or the door won't lock is an hour of lost trade or exposed stock. Our approach is to make the unit secure first, quote the permanent fix straight after, and get toughened glass ordered as quickly as it can be supplied.
Shopfronts almost always need toughened safety glass rather than standard float glass, and aluminium shopfront doors use different hardware to a domestic uPVC door — we carry the right stock and know which suppliers can turn units around fastest across London.
Where a break-in has happened, we'll board up immediately, take photos for your insurer, and follow up with the reglaze and any lock or frame repair needed once the claim's underway.

Frequently asked questions
Can you board up our shopfront the same day after a break-in?
Yes, we treat shopfront break-ins as priority call-outs and aim to make the unit secure the same day, then follow up with the permanent reglaze.
Do you supply the correct toughened glass for shopfronts?
Yes — shopfront glazing needs to meet safety glazing standards and we only fit toughened glass to the correct specification for the opening.
Can repairs be scheduled outside our trading hours?
Where the unit is safely boarded or doesn't need to be closed, yes — tell us your trading hours and we'll work around them as far as possible.
