About Montrose Glass

Montrose Glass: emergency glazing and glass repair across the UK

Montrose Glass is a family-run glazing business that presents itself as a fast-response specialist for glass and window repairs, operating throughout the year. The company states that it has more than 20 years of experience in emergency glazing and that it arranges local glaziers for both domestic and commercial properties. Its stated response window is 30 to 90 minutes, and it does not charge a call-out fee.

The service is organised around a three-step process: the customer reports the problem by phone or requests a callback, the company discusses the need and issues a no-obligation quote while arranging a visit, and a glazier then attends to assess the issue and carry out the repair. The firm describes its glaziers as flexible around the customer's availability.

Glass repair and replacement services

The core offer covers emergency glazing for windows and doors, including broken or damaged glass, alongside planned repairs and renovations. The catalogue of services listed by the company includes:

  • Emergency boarding up of windows, with a 24/7 response and safety solutions for all types of boarding.
  • Emergency glazing and glass repairs for urgent breakages.
  • Double glazing replacement glass, including repair of faulty units.
  • Replacement and repair of misted double glazing units affected by condensation.
  • Window and door glass repair and replacement.
  • Shop front glazing for commercial and industrial properties, with priority business accounts available.
  • Mirrors, glass table tops and shelf repairs.
  • Supply and fitting of custom toughened glass.
  • Cat flap installation into windows or doors.
  • A local locksmith service for emergency or planned repairs.

Domestic, commercial and industrial work

Montrose Glass describes itself as a window repair company serving domestic, commercial and industrial properties. The material distinguishes between household jobs such as misted or faulty double glazed units and commercial work such as smashed shop front windows, which the company says it can attend within 90 minutes. Priority accounts are offered to business customers.

Coverage and on-site capacity

The company reports nationwide coverage across the UK and lists counties throughout England, Scotland and Wales among its areas covered, including Greater London, Greater Manchester, the West Midlands, Essex, Kent, Hampshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Scotland's council areas and the Welsh counties. It states that its vans are stocked with all types of glass, some of which can be cut on site, allowing same-day emergency repairs where possible; otherwise glass is measured and ordered quickly.

Accreditation, guarantees and reputation

According to its own presentation, Montrose Glass is accredited to ISO 9001 British Standards and is a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen. The company says it offers a full guarantee on all workmanship, a 10-year guarantee against misting on its double glazing units, and a one-year manufacturer's guarantee on repairs to hinges and locks. It also states that it is recognised as a safe contractor.

The site reproduces customer testimonials, including accounts of a job completed within an hour with a full clean-up, glazing work on a London construction project carried out during heavy snowfall, and a domestic customer who went on to request a quote for a relative's house. A Trustpilot reference appears on the page without a specific score in the available material.
