Emergency Window Repair Dublin & Wicklow

If a window breaks or shatters, safety must be your first priority. Keep people and pets well away from the area, as broken glass can cause serious cuts even from small shards. Avoid attempting to clear up loose glass yourself unless absolutely necessary, and never handle broken panes without protective gloves.

If possible, close off the affected room to prevent further risk and heat loss. Once the area is safe, contact our emergency window repair service immediately. We’ll attend promptly, remove all damaged glass safely, and secure the opening to protect your property from weather, draughts, and intrusion. If same-day replacement isn’t possible, we’ll install a temporary board-up until the new glass is ready.

Smashed or cracked glass cannot be repaired. Once glass is damaged, it loses its structural integrity and safety performance, even if the crack appears small. Continuing to use cracked glass poses a serious risk of further shattering.

The correct and only safe solution is full glass replacement. During an emergency call-out, we take precise measurements of the opening and assess the correct glass specification required. This may involve replacing a single pane, a toughened safety panel, or a sealed double-glazed unit. Once replaced, your window will regain its original strength, insulation, and appearance.

Yes. If replacement glass cannot be fitted immediately — for example, when a bespoke double-glazed unit needs to be manufactured — we provide a secure emergency board-up service.

Our board-ups are cut precisely to size and fixed securely to protect against rain, wind, heat loss, and unauthorised access. This temporary solution keeps your home or premises safe while preventing further damage. Once your replacement glass is ready, we return promptly to remove the boarding and complete the repair. See our boarding up service.

We provide same-day emergency window repair call-outs across Dublin and Wicklow. Because our glazing team works locally every day, we can often attend within a few hours of your call, depending on location and urgency.

Our priority during an emergency visit is to make the area safe, remove all broken glass, and secure the opening. We understand that broken windows are stressful and disruptive, which is why our emergency service focuses on fast response, clear communication, and professional workmanship from the outset.

We use the correct safety-rated glass based on the window’s location, height, and usage, in line with Irish and EU requirements. This may include:

• Toughened safety glass, commonly required for doors and low-level glazing

• Laminated safety glass, often used for shopfronts and security-sensitive areas

• Double-glazed units, for standard residential and commercial windows

• Low-E or A-rated glass, where an energy-efficiency upgrade is appropriate

All replacement glass is cut to size and fitted into your existing frame to restore safety, insulation, and appearance without unnecessary disruption. See what types of glass we supply here.

Yes. We carry out emergency commercial glazing repairs for shops, offices, restaurants, schools, and public buildings throughout Dublin and Wicklow.

Broken shopfront glass poses both safety and security risks, as well as potential disruption to business operations. Our team responds quickly to secure the premises, clean up all broken glass, and install temporary boarding if required. We then supply and fit the correct safety glass — often toughened or laminated — to meet both insurance and regulatory requirements.

Absolutely. Break-ins and vandalism are among the most common reasons for emergency window repairs. Our team is experienced in dealing with these situations quickly and discreetly.

We’ll secure the opening immediately to prevent further risk, then replace the damaged glass with appropriate security-grade glazing. Where needed, we can provide documentation and quotations to support insurance claims. Our aim is to restore safety and peace of mind as quickly as possible.

This boils down to what type of insurance cover you have. Some home and commercial insurance policies do include cover for accidental glass breakage, vandalism, or storm damage.

After attending your emergency repair, we can provide a clear written quote and supporting details for your insurer. Some insurers reimburse directly, while others require payment upfront followed by a claim — we’ll guide you through the process where needed, based on decades of experience with insurance-related glazing repairs.

Yes. All emergency replacement glass is made to measure to match your existing windows or doors, whether they are uPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite frames.

We carefully match glass thickness, finish, and style so the repaired window blends seamlessly with the rest of your property. For older homes or commercial buildings, we can also source patterned, frosted, tinted, or specialist glass where required.

Emergency window repair costs depend on the type of glass, urgency, and whether a temporary board-up is required. While emergency call-outs may cost more than planned repairs, replacing broken glass promptly often prevents further damage, heat loss, or security issues that could become more expensive later.

We always provide clear, upfront pricing before proceeding with any work.

No. Emergency glass replacement is carried out within your existing frame, whether it is uPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite.

Our aim is to restore safety and performance without damaging or altering the frame. In most cases, once the glass is replaced, there is no visible sign that the window was ever broken.

Yes. We regularly carry out emergency window repairs for landlords, property managers, and commercial premises across Dublin and Wicklow.

We can liaise directly with tenants, caretakers, or site managers, secure the property quickly, and provide documentation suitable for insurance or property records.

If a double-glazed unit breaks, the entire sealed unit must be replaced. Internal shattering compromises both safety and insulation, even if one pane appears intact.

During an emergency visit, we’ll remove the damaged unit safely, secure the opening if necessary, and arrange a replacement unit made to the correct size and specification for your window.

If the broken glass is single-glazed and does not require toughening, we can often replace it on the same day during the emergency call-out.

If toughened safety glass is required, the glass must go through a controlled manufacturing process, which typically takes a few days. Double-glazed units also require fabrication and usually take a couple of days to produce.

In all cases, we will fully secure the opening while you wait, using professional boarding or temporary glazing, ensuring your property remains safe, weather-tight, and protected until the replacement glass is installed.
