Emergency Callout in Norwich

We aim to have an engineer on site within two hours of the initial call for premises within major urban areas, and within three to four hours for rural or remote locations. Response times can vary depending on the volume of concurrent callouts and the engineer's location at the time of the call. We provide a confirmed estimated arrival time when we dispatch the engineer and update you if circumstances change.

Yes. Our emergency service pricing is transparent: there is a fixed callout charge that covers the first hour of attendance and travel within standard response zones. All work carried out beyond the first hour is charged at an hourly labour rate, and materials are charged at cost plus a handling margin. We provide a full breakdown on the attendance report, which forms the basis of any insurance claim for the emergency attendance.

Most commercial property insurance policies cover the cost of emergency board-up and temporary security measures following an insured event (vandalism, vehicle impact, burglary). The emergency attendance report we provide — including timestamped photographs of the damage and an itemised record of the work carried out — is specifically structured to facilitate insurance claim submission. We recommend notifying your insurer at the same time as you call us, as some policies require prompt notification.

Our primary focus is commercial premises — retail, hospitality, industrial, and multi-occupancy commercial buildings. We can provide emergency boarding for mixed-use buildings (e.g. a ground-floor retail unit with residential above) and for commercial elements of residential developments. For purely domestic boarding requirements, we recommend contacting a specialist domestic glazier or a general emergency property maintenance service.
