Not every broken pane is a house window
Out through Norton Canes, Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley and the villages along the edge of the Chase there is a lot of property with more to it than the house — detached garages, workshops, sheds, lean-tos and greenhouses. Those take their share of breakages, usually from weather or a stray ball rather than anything dramatic, and they are straightforward work. Greenhouse panes in particular are often a standard size and horticultural glass is a different specification from window glass, so it is worth saying what the building is when you ring rather than just giving a measurement.
Estate housing keeps it predictable
In the town itself the post-war estate housing works in your favour when something breaks. The openings repeat from house to house, so a broken pane is usually a size that is well known rather than a one-off that has to be worked out from scratch. That takes the guesswork out of ordering and means fewer surprises between the measure and the fit.
Boarding, then glass
Where a pane has gone through completely the opening gets cleared and boarded so the building is secure, and the glass follows once it is in. On an outbuilding that first step often matters more than it does on the house — an open workshop or garage is an invitation, and it is usually the contents rather than the window that people are worried about.

Common questions
Can you do greenhouse and shed glass as well as house windows?
Yes. Greenhouses, garages, workshops and outbuildings are all normal work. Greenhouse panes are often a standard size and use horticultural glass, so tell us what the building is as well as the measurement.
Something has broken in my garage. Is it worth calling out for one pane?
Yes — quotes are free and there is no call-out charge. If it is one pane it is often worth pairing with anything else that needs doing while we are there.
