The Boarding Up And Replacement Process After An Emergency
The worst has happened, and you’re faced with a glazing emergency, what is in store for your windows now? A Emergency Glazing London, we have a process to secure and replace your windows promptly to ensure your structure, your occupants, and your property is kept safe from broken shards of glass and the elements, and knowing what to expect from your emergency repair can help you feel more comfortable about the entire situation.
After one of our glaziers to your London home or business, they will first begin the clean-up process. This step is extremely important, as the glass shards strewn about after a glazing emergency can very easily put others at risk for injury. As professionals, we know just how to spot even the smallest and hardest to see shards of glass to make sure that your space is kept clean and safe. It is never recommended that home or business owners start this process themselves, as only a glazier specializing in glazing London glass will be able to sufficiently and safely carry out this clean-up process.
Once clean up has been performed, it will then be time to board up the window. Boarding up a window is a process that works just as it sounds; the now opened window area will be closed securely with boarding to make sure that the space no longer creates a free area for intruders or weather to come inside.
Within 24 hours, typically, the replacement process will then begin, and our glaziers will work hard to get you a new working window to replace the broken glazing as quickly as possible. This final step in the process will leave your home secure and fully equipped with a functional new window structure.
When a glazing emergency occurs, this process to clean-up, board up, and fix up the window can begin in as little as 60 minutes. Due to our close proximity to many London areas, our 24/7 emergency repair services can be carried out as quickly as possible!
