Emergency glazing service — Glazier
Explain where the damaged opening is, whether anyone is injured or at immediate risk, and whether the building is exposed to weather or unauthorised entry. Keep people away from unstable glass and discuss attendance and protection options without handling shards to prepare the job.
Service scope
Urgent attendance to assess a damaged or exposed glazed opening and carry out agreed temporary protection or replacement where practicable. The service prioritises the immediate opening condition and clearly separates securing the site from final fabricated-glass completion.
What is normally included
- Urgent opening assessment
- Agreed temporary weather or security protection
- Measurement and planning for permanent glazing
What is not included
- Guaranteed round-the-clock availability
- Promised same-visit manufacture of every glass type
Typical tasks
- Establish the immediate opening condition
- Agree urgent attendance scope
- Assess safe temporary protection
- Record replacement-glass requirements
- Arrange permanent completion where needed
What to include in your brief
- Site and contact details
- Location and extent of damage
- Exposure to weather or entry
- Safe access arrangements
- Temporary and permanent priorities
Choosing the right professional
Confirm the provider's actual availability and what the first attendance can achieve. Ask about call-out charges, temporary materials and the route to permanent replacement; emergency securing is not proof that the correct final glazing is already available.
Important considerations
- Damaged glass may remain hazardous before professional attendance
- Temporary protection can restrict normal use of an opening
