Emergency Glazing & Board-Up in Burnley

Within the Burnley area we aim to be on site within a couple of hours for a genuine emergency. Ring the mobile directly rather than emailing.

Accidental damage and break-in glazing are usually covered, subject to your excess. We provide the documentation; your insurer decides.

Emergency callout, yes. Survey and standard installation work runs to normal hours.

Within the Burnley area we aim to be on site within a couple of hours for a genuine emergency. Ring the mobile rather than emailing — an email may sit unread until morning and a broken window will not wait.

Keep people and pets away from the glass, do not attempt to pull out large shards, and if it is safe put something over the opening from inside. If the frame is holding broken glass under tension, leave it alone.

Yes. All broken glass is collected and taken away for safe disposal. We do not sweep it into a bag and leave it with you.

Plywood cut to the opening and fixed securely so the property is weathertight and cannot be entered. It is a temporary measure to make you safe overnight while the correct made-to-measure glass is manufactured.

Accidental damage and break-in glazing are usually covered subject to your excess. We provide photographs, an itemised report and an invoice in a form insurers accept. Whether they pay is their decision, not ours.

If it is a break-in, yes — get a crime reference number before the scene is disturbed, because your insurer will ask for it. Then ring us to secure the property.

Yes. Forced frames can often be straightened and rehung the same visit, and we carry replacement cylinders so the locks can be changed immediately — important if keys were taken or the lock was snapped.

Yes, including toughened and laminated safety glass to the appropriate thickness for a retail frontage, and out-of-hours board-up so you can open the next morning.

Blown-out units, wind-damaged frames and debris strikes are all common after Lancashire weather. We make safe first, then assess whether the frame itself has been compromised.

For emergency callout, yes. Standard surveys and installation work run to normal hours.

There is a charge for an emergency attendance — you are paying for someone to stop what they are doing and come out. We tell you what it is on the phone before we set off, not after we arrive.

The replacement glass is made to measure, so typically a few days to a week depending on the specification. The board-up keeps you secure in the meantime.

In almost all cases — including obscured patterns, leaded and Georgian bar designs. Some very old or discontinued patterns need a close match rather than an exact one, and we will show you before fitting.

Treat it as urgent rather than an emergency. A cracked pane can fail suddenly, especially in a temperature swing, and if it is toughened glass it will go all at once. Get it measured and replaced before it does.

Yes. A snapped key or a seized cylinder is a common callout, and replacing the cylinder is usually straightforward. It is also a good moment to upgrade to an anti-snap cylinder if the old one was not.

No. If you describe what has happened we will tell you honestly whether it needs someone out tonight or whether it can safely wait until the morning — which is often cheaper for you.
