Emergency Callout in Reading
Emergency Callout for Reading premises, inside our regular working area.
What we do in Reading
Reading is inside our repair area but not on our doorstep. If your premises are left insecure, ring the emergency line first and we will give you an honest arrival time before you decide.
If we can reach you in good time, we board or glaze the opening, secure shutters or change locks, and record the damage for your insurer. If a local firm can get there sooner, we will tell you so.
Reading is inside our regular working area, roughly within 100 miles of Birmingham, so we can survey, fit and come back for adjustments without long waits.
Shopping streets and planning in Reading
Broad Street and the Oracle form the main shopping area, with national retailers and a riverside of restaurants. Market Place and the streets around the old Abbey ruins are more historic, and conservation area rules apply to parts of the centre.
Caversham, across the river, has a small high street of independent shops and cafés. Tilehurst, Whitley and Southcote have local parades serving their neighbourhoods.
What you get from us
The same standard on every emergency callout job, whichever town it is in.
Open 24/7, all year
A real person answers the emergency line at night, at weekends and on bank holidays.
