Job summary
- Service: Same-day glass replacement (door panel)
- Location: Hoe St, Walthamstow, London E17 4PH
- Glass size: 1m x 2m
- Problem: Impact damage with cracking and spiderweb fractures
- Outcome: Door secured and restored with a clean finish, and safety checks completed
What we found on arrival
We observed that the entrance door glass had significant impact damage and spreading cracks, concentrated around the lower portion of the panel. With door movement and vibration, cracks like this can worsen quickly, so the priority was safety and security. As Hoe Street is super busy, getting it sorted fast matters.
What we replaced
We replaced the damaged door glass panel with a new 1m x 2m glass panel, fitted into the existing door frame after cleaning and preparing the glazing area.
What we did
1. Site visit + measurement
We confirmed the opening size and checked the door frame condition so the new panel would fit correctly.
2. Safety first
We controlled the area around the entrance to reduce risk from loose fragments and sharp edges.
3. Remove the damaged glass
First, we carefully removed the broken panel and cleared any remaining shards or debris from the door and surrounding area.
4. Prepare the frame
We cleaned and prepped the frame so the new panel would sit correctly and the final finish would be neat and secure.
5. Install the new 1m x 2m panel
We installed the replacement panel, aligned it properly, and ensured it was seated and secured as it should be.
6. Final checks and clean-up
We checked the door function (opening and closing), ensured everything was stable, and cleaned the area so the entrance looked professional again.
Before and After
The result
By the end of the visit:
- The door was safe and secure
- The panel was cleanly installed
- The entrance was restored with a tidy finish
