Whether due to vandalism, burglary or another incident a broken window can feel like a big inconvenience. Here we detail the steps of what you will need to do.

Boarding up broken windows

Ordering replacement glass

After the damaged area is secured with boarding, you will need to order replacement glass. You should inspect the area and see if any of the frame has been damaged too.
