- SF London, 24 Hour Emergency Glass Repair
24 Hour Emergency Glass and Window Repairs in London
When a shop window is smashed, a door will not lock or a shutter has been forced, you need someone on site fast. SF London runs a 24 hour emergency line for shops, offices and restaurants across London. We aim to be with you in under 60 minutes for most London postcodes, make the premises safe and secure, and then arrange the permanent glass repair. Call 07758 665337 at any hour.
Emergency Glass Repair and Boarding Up for London Businesses
A broken shopfront is more than a repair. Your stock is exposed, your insurer expects the premises to be secured, and customers cannot get in. Our job on the first visit is to deal with the danger and the risk of theft, then to put right what is broken.
We attend smashed shop windows, cracked toughened glass, forced doors, damaged double glazed units, failed locks and shutters that have been forced or jammed shut. Where a repair cannot be finished the same day, we board up or fit temporary security so the premises are safe overnight, and we return to fit the permanent glass.
Shopfront glass is not all the same. We replace like for like, whether that is toughened safety glass in doors and low panels, laminated glass for extra security, or sealed double glazed units in aluminium frames. We measure on the first visit, confirm the specification with you in writing and order the glass made to size. See our glass and aluminium works for planned replacement, or our shopfront installation service if the whole frontage needs replacing.
If a shutter was forced or will not close, our shutter repair team can secure it, and our shop security locks service fits new locks after a break in. Keeping your premises safe tonight matters more than a perfect repair, so we deal with that first.
We cover all of London as one service area. In Luton, Milton Keynes and Northampton, call us and we will tell you how soon we can attend. See everywhere we work, or call SF London now on 07758 665337.

What to Do While You Wait for Us
Move staff and customers away from the broken glass and shut the area off if you can. Do not try to pick up large shards, and do not sweep glass towards a doorway.
Photograph the damage, the surrounding area and any affected stock before anything is moved. Your insurer will want these.
If the damage was caused by a break in or vandalism, report it to the police and note the crime reference number. Insurers usually ask for it.
Move stock, cash and equipment away from the damaged opening if it is safe to do so.
Contact your insurer as soon as you can. Check your policy for glass cover and for any rule about which contractor you can use.
Give us your postcode, the size of the opening if you know it, whether the glass is toughened or double glazed, and whether anyone is at risk.
