Thanks to the rainy weather this summer, having a broken window is likely to be a particularly unpleasant experience.

The most common causes of broken windows.
Broken windows can be caused by various factors, but one of the most common causes is a simple accident. It’s common for kids to break windows when playing football and other ball games. Or it could be a rock propelled by a lawn mower, or a tree falling during stormy weather.
With the UK suffering more severe weather lately, strong winds are liable to carry debris which affect your windows. Even temperature fluctuations can cause stress on the glass and can lead to window breakage. Although such cases are rare, they do unfortunately still happen.
Did you know that poorly installed windows are more likely to break?
That’s why choosing the right team for your property in Canterbury is absolutely crucial. Poor installation or improper fitting of the window pane can lead to stress fractures or vulnerability to damage over time.
Sometimes, underlying structural issues in the building can cause stress on the window frame or glass, leading to cracks or breakage. In rare cases, defects in the manufacturing process of the window itself can make it more prone to breaking.
However, often damage can happen due to aging. Over time, windows become more susceptible to breakage from minor impacts or weather conditions.
Our work includes repairing windows which have been damaged due to both unintentional and intentional damage. For instance, deliberate acts of vandalism such as someone intentionally breaking the window with a tool or object.
If needed, our team can address the causes, assessing the specific circumstances of the breakage and taking appropriate steps, such as repairing or replacing the window and addressing any underlying issues to prevent future occurrences.
Getting a broken window fixed as soon as possible is important for several reasons.
Firstly, it can affect your security. A broken window compromises the security of your home or business in Canterbury. It provides easier access for intruders, making your property vulnerable to theft or vandalism.
Secondly, it’s vital for the safety of everyone in your household. Broken glass poses a safety hazard, especially if there are children, pets, or people with bare feet around. Prompt repair ensures no one gets hurt by sharp edges or loose glass.
Don’t leave your home open to the elements.
Then there’s the fact that windows protect us from the weather. A broken window exposes the interior of your building to the elements. This can lead to water damage during rain or snow, as well as increased heating or cooling costs due to loss of insulation.
Broken windows look terrible on any property.
Fixing them promptly helps keep your property look its best and prevents your home or business from looking neglected.
Then there’s the considerations when it comes to legal matters and insurance. Some insurance policies may require timely repairs to maintain coverage. Additionally, leaving a broken window for an extended period could violate local building codes or homeowner association rules.
In short, repairing a broken window as soon as possible is a proactive step to protect your property, ensure safety, and maintain its value and appearance.
How long will our repairs in Canterbury take?
How long it will take will depend on a number of factors, including the extent of the damage. Minor repairs such as replacing a seal or adjusting hinges might take a few hours or less. However, if there’s more significant damage like cracked glass, it could take longer.
If replacement parts are needed and readily available, the repair could be completed more quickly. Sometimes, waiting for parts to arrive can delay the process. However, you can be assured our skilled technician can complete repairs more efficiently than someone less experienced.
Another factor is how many windows you need repaired. If multiple windows need fixed, it will naturally take longer than repairing a single window.
