Emergency Callout in Coventry

Emergency Callout for premises across Coventry, a short drive from our base in Exhall.

What we do in Coventry

When a Coventry shop is left open by smashed glass, a forced door or a jammed shutter, ring our emergency line. Coventry is close to our base, so we can usually reach you quickly, day or night.

We board or glaze the opening, secure the shutter or change the lock, clear the debris and record everything for your insurer, then measure for the permanent repair.

Coventry is one of our home areas, a short drive from the yard in Exhall, so surveys, fitting days and follow-up visits are easy to arrange.

Shopping streets and planning in Coventry

The city centre was rebuilt after the Second World War around a pedestrian precinct, so many shopfronts sit in post-war concrete frames with deep fascias and canopies. Spon Street is different: a street of timber-framed medieval buildings, some moved there from elsewhere in the city, and changes there are tightly controlled.

Foleshill Road is one of the busiest independent shopping streets in the area, with grocers, jewellers, clothing shops and restaurants. Earlsdon has cafés, bars and boutiques on its main streets, while Tile Hill, Canley, Binley and Walsgrave have local parades with takeaways, pharmacies and convenience shops.
