What we get called out to most
After a break in
Burglary window repair once the police have been. We make safe first, photograph the damage, then reglaze. Break in window repair emergency calls get priority.
Storm and wind damage
Storm damage window repair when a gust or a falling branch takes a pane out. We check the frame and beading, not just the glass.
Vandalism and stray damage
Vandalism glass repair for houses, shops and empty premises, plus the everyday ones: a stone, a ball, a slammed door.
A smashed window overnight
A broken window overnight is the call we take most. A smashed window emergency at 2am gets the same crew and the same fixed price as one at 2pm.
Landlords and agents
An emergency glazier for landlords, letting agents and housing teams, attending on your instruction and invoicing you rather than the tenant.
Insurance jobs
Emergency glazier insurance work handled end to end: dated photographs, a written description of the damage and an itemised invoice for the claim.

Made safe & reglazed
Board up, repair or replace the glass on the spot.
Emergency window repair
Every emergency window repair starts with making the opening safe. Once nobody can be hurt by loose glass and the property is secure, we look at the whole window rather than just the pane: after a break in or a storm we check the frame and beading as well, because a new pane in a damaged frame is not a finished job. It works the same on uPVC and aluminium frames, at home or at a shop.
Wherever we can, the glass goes back on the first visit, because the van carries common sizes. Where it cannot, we board the opening up so you are not left with a hole in the house, and measure for the replacement before we leave.
Emergency glass repair
Broken glass is replaced rather than patched, so emergency glass repair here means making it safe first, then fitting made-to-measure replacement glass from our own factory at 7 Trafford Moss Road, Trafford Park. Single panes, sealed double glazed units and toughened safety glass are all made up there, so an odd size is not a problem and we are not waiting on a supplier. Non-standard units are usually back with you within 24 to 48 hours, and the board stays on until they are.
Send a photo on WhatsApp or call 07863 778736, any hour, and you get a fixed price before anyone sets off.
Each town has its own page with its own response times, including Salford, Stockport, Warrington, Wigan and Bolton. For the jobs themselves, see emergency boarding up, broken window repair and glass replacement.

Before & after
What to do in the ten minutes before we arrive
None of this is urgent enough to risk a cut hand, but it makes the visit quicker and the insurance claim easier.
- Keep everyone back from the opening
- Glass still sitting in a frame can drop without warning, and the pieces left at the bottom of a broken pane are the sharp ones.
- Photograph it before you touch anything
- Insurers ask for it, and a picture taken in the first ten minutes is worth more than one taken after you have tidied up.
- Leave the loose glass where it is
- What is still in the frame is holding the rest in place until we get there. Pulling it out usually brings more down.
- Shut the internal door rather than covering the hole
- It costs you one cold room instead of a whole cold house, and it is safer than balancing something over an opening.
Send a photo on WhatsApp while you are waiting. We can usually tell what we will need to bring before the van leaves Trafford Park, which saves a second visit.

Emergency glazing FAQs
Who does emergency window repair in Manchester?
We do. Prime Fabrication attends emergency window repair and emergency glass repair across Greater Manchester 24 hours a day, makes the property safe first, and replaces the glass or frame from our own Trafford Park factory. Call 07863 778736.
How fast can you get to me?
We aim for a 30–60 minute response across central Manchester and Trafford, and same-day attendance across Greater Manchester. Send a WhatsApp photo and we'll confirm an exact arrival time.
How much does emergency glazing cost?
Every job is priced before we travel — send a photo by WhatsApp and you'll get a clear quote with no call-out surprises. Because we cut glass in our own workshop, replacements often cost less than firms who buy glass in.
Do you come out at night and on weekends?
Yes — the emergency line is answered 24/7, 365 days a year, including bank holidays.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
Yes. We work with all major insurers, photograph the damage, and provide the documentation your claim needs.
What if the glass can't be replaced immediately?
We board up and make the property safe on the first visit, then return with the correct glass — usually within 24–48 hours for non-standard units.
Do emergency glaziers charge a call out fee?
We do not. You get a fixed price from a photo before we leave the workshop, and that price covers attending, making safe and the glass. Some firms quote a low rate then add a call out charge on the invoice, so it is worth asking anyone you ring.
What should I do if my window is smashed at night?
Keep everyone away from the glass, and if it was a break in, ring the police first so you have a crime number for the claim. Then send us a photo on WhatsApp. Do not try to pull loose glass out of the frame yourself, because the pieces still in the beading are the ones that cut.
Does home insurance cover emergency glazing?
Most buildings policies cover accidental and malicious glass breakage, though the excess is often close to the cost of a single pane. We photograph and document every job either way, so you can decide whether to claim once you have our fixed price.
How quickly can a broken window be replaced?
Standard sizes are usually replaced on the first visit, because we cut glass in our own Trafford Park workshop and carry common units on the van. Toughened, laminated or shaped units are made up at the workshop, and we board up in the meantime so the property is never left open.
