What's involved with fire glass replacement in Cambridge
Broken fire glass replacement is the repair of cracked, shattered or damaged fire-resistant panes with glass of a type the frame's evidence allows, refitted with the correct beads and seals. A cracked fire pane may not perform as tested, so it should be made safe and replaced promptly.

Fixed written quotes

Before you order fire glass replacement: what matters
Read the marks
Most fire glass is etched or printed with its product name and classification. A photo of the mark speeds up quoting.
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.

We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
