Glass Replacement in Edinburgh
We do not offer glass replacement in Edinburgh. Here is why, and what we can do instead.
Glass Replacement in Edinburgh: not a service we offer here
Edinburgh is too far from our Midlands base for us to offer glass replacement at a response time that would be fair to you, so we do not take this work on there.
A firm based near Edinburgh will reach you sooner. If the damage means you are replacing the front, shutter or door altogether, we can quote that as a planned project.
Edinburgh is a long way from our Midlands base, so work there is booked as a planned project and fitted in as few trips as possible.
Shopping streets and planning in Edinburgh
If you are planning a significant project in Edinburgh, send us the details. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm or whether a Scottish specialist in heritage shopfronts would suit you better.
The Old Town and New Town together form a World Heritage Site, and a large share of the buildings are listed. The City of Edinburgh Council has some of the most detailed shopfront guidance in Britain, with strong preferences for traditional timber fronts, painted signs and internal security. Any work here needs careful drawings and usually several consents.

Questions people ask about glass replacement
Standard panes usually arrive within a few working days of measuring. Large or special glass can take longer. We secure the opening in the meantime.
Toughened glass often has a small mark etched in one corner. Laminated glass shows a thin plastic layer at the edge. If in doubt, we check on site.
Many commercial policies include glass cover. We provide the report and invoice your insurer needs.
Yes. Swapping to laminated or thicker glass is often worthwhile, especially after a break-in.
