About the Job
What the customer faced:
A café owner came back to a full-height pane of toughened glass crazed from corner to corner, with glass granules across the seating and the pavement. A replacement pane was days away at best — but the shop couldn't stand open to the street overnight, and the owner wanted to trade in the morning.
What we did:
The opening was cleared of loose glass, measured, and boarded the same night: structural ply cut to size, battened to the frame with fixings into sound material, weather-tight and flush. The board was fitted neatly around the door so the shop could open as usual next morning — secure, tidy, and not screaming that anything had happened.
How the visit went:
- Call — opening described, size estimated

The job in detail
The call came just after closing time: a café’s full-height frontage pane had shattered — toughened glass, so it had crazed into a wall of granules rather than shards, but the whole sheet was ready to fall with the next slammed door. The glazier’s honest answer on a replacement was “days, not hours”. The owner’s question was simpler: can we be secure tonight and open tomorrow?
Yes, twice. The loose glass was cleared from the seating area and pavement first, then the opening was measured properly rather than eyeballed. Structural ply went up cut to size, battened through to the frame with fixings into sound material — not tacked over the hole, but built to be leaned on. The edges were kept flush and the line of the board followed the shopfront, so from the street it reads as work in progress rather than an invitation.
The door stayed fully usable, and the café opened at its normal time the next morning with the boarding holding until the new pane arrived. Materials were named and priced in writing on top of the fixed labour quote agreed on the phone — total price, no VAT added, and the same figure at midnight as it would have been at midday.
