The Swale district has a varied mix of property types and environments, each with its own glazing challenges.

New-build estates have expanded significantly around Sittingbourne in recent years — particularly in Kemsley, Murston, and the areas to the east of the town. These properties have modern double-glazed units that we can replace quickly from our van stock.

Older residential streets in the town centre and Milton Regis include Victorian and Edwardian terraces with sash windows and single glazing. We have specialist experience with period glazing and can source appropriate glass for sympathetic repairs.

Isle of Sheppey properties face additional challenges — the island's exposed coastal position means properties in Sheerness, Minster, and Leysdown are particularly vulnerable to wind and salt air damage. Sealed units on the island tend to fail sooner than inland equivalents, and storm damage calls from Sheppey are common.

Industrial and commercial premises — Sittingbourne has a significant industrial base, with warehouses, distribution centres, and commercial units along the main arterial roads. We respond to commercial calls with the same urgency as residential emergencies.

Rural properties in the Swale villages often have older glazing, larger panes, and less standardised sizes. We carry a wide range of stock and can cut to measure on site for non-standard dimensions.

Break-ins are the most urgent glazing calls we receive. Sittingbourne and the surrounding area see a steady volume of residential and commercial break-ins. A smashed window or forced door panel needs to be secured immediately — both to prevent further intrusion and to protect your property from the elements.

We respond to break-in calls as the highest priority, day or night. We board up or replace the glass on the same visit and provide full documentation for your police report and insurance claim.

The Swale district — particularly the Isle of Sheppey — is exposed to significant weather events. High winds from the Thames Estuary and the North Sea can crack or shatter glass, especially in older properties or those in exposed coastal positions.

We respond to storm damage calls 24/7 and can make your property weathertight on the same visit.

Coastal and estuary-facing properties in Swale are particularly susceptible to sealed unit failure due to salt air and temperature fluctuations. If your double glazed unit has misted up or the seal has failed, we can replace the sealed unit without touching the frame — restoring clarity and thermal performance on the same day in most cases.

A football through a window, a door slamming in the wind, or a DIY accident — we respond to accidental breakages with the same speed as any other emergency call.

Sittingbourne town centre and the surrounding retail parks have a range of commercial premises. A smashed shop front leaves your stock and premises exposed. We carry large-format toughened glass panels and can board up immediately if a bespoke unit needs to be ordered.

The Isle of Sheppey is connected to the mainland by the Sheppey Crossing and the older Kingsferry Bridge. We factor crossing times into our response estimates for Sheppey calls — in most cases, we can still reach properties on the island within 60–75 minutes, depending on traffic and time of day.

If you're on the Isle of Sheppey and need an emergency glazier, call us immediately on 07596 081381 — we'll give you a realistic ETA and dispatch straight away.

When our glazier arrives at your Sittingbourne or Swale property:

1. We assess the damage — we identify exactly what glass and materials are needed.
2. We give you a fixed price — no hidden charges, no surprises. We quote before we start.
3. We repair or board up — in most cases, we carry the right glass and complete the repair on the same visit. If a bespoke unit is needed, we board up securely and return.
4. We clean up — all broken glass is removed safely.
5. We provide an invoice — detailed documentation for your insurance claim.

We provide a full written invoice detailing the cause of damage, the glass specification, and all work carried out. This is accepted by all major home and commercial insurers.

If you're making a claim, let us know when you call — we'll make sure the paperwork supports it and can provide any additional information your insurer requires.

While you wait for our glazier:

• Don't touch broken glass with bare hands — use thick gloves or a dustpan and brush to move large pieces away from walkways.
• Keep children and pets away from the area.
• If it's a break-in, call the police first (101 for non-emergency, 999 if the intruder may still be present), then call us.
• Take photos of the damage before anything is moved — essential for your insurance claim.
• Cover the opening loosely with a heavy blanket or cardboard if it's raining, but leave the permanent repair to us.

Don't leave a broken window unsecured. Call 07596 081381 or freephone 0800 634 3117 — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
