Can broken glass be replaced?
Glass replacement can be discussed, but the correct glass type and fitting details need to be confirmed.

Service FAQs
What information helps with a quotation?
Clear photos, approximate measurements, the property location, access details and a short description of the required work help British Shopfronts advise the next step. Final details are confirmed in the quotation.
Is a site survey needed?
A survey or measurement review is usually needed before final specification, materials and price are confirmed.
Can repair and replacement be discussed together?
Yes. Repair, refurbishment and replacement options can be reviewed together, and repair or replacement may be recommended depending on condition.
Can shopfronts, doors and shutters be planned together?
Where suitable, entrance doors, glazing and roller shutters can be considered as part of the same opening so the quotation reflects the full requirement.
