Commercial & High Level Glass Replacement Services

We carry out commercial glass replacements and high level glass replacements across the UK, working for facilities managers, building owners, property managers, and main contractors. Our work covers everything from reactive single-unit replacements following breakage or IGU failure, through to planned replacement programmes across large commercial façades.

The benefits of choosing Dynamic Access for your commercial glass replacements

We have been entrusted with carrying out commercial glass replacements throughout the UK, from small single-unit replacements to complete overhauls. Working nationally across a wide variety of structures, we have conducted glass replacements to:

  • Glazed canopies
  • Curtain walling
  • Glazing with difficult access
  • Oversized glazing units
  • Rooflights and skylights
  • Glazed façades, including floor-to-ceiling vision glazing
  • Atria glazing, including overhead and internal atria
  • High level windows and high-rise façades
  • Opening window systems

We are one of few commercial glazing contractors to offer an Insurance Backed Guarantee, giving clients and their insurers confidence in the quality and longevity of our work. All projects are documented photographically throughout, providing a clear visual record of the works carried out and supporting future planned maintenance needs.

Where required, we carry out works outside of standard hours. Our projects have included night-shift dome glass replacement at the Trafford Centre, live-site works at KPMG Canary Wharf, and multi-phase atrium glazing replacement at the Nationwide Building Society headquarters. This experience means we know how to plan and execute glass replacements in occupied, high-footfall, and operationally sensitive environments.

We also offer emergency glass replacement for situations that cannot wait, with rapid response and make-safe services available across the UK.

What’s our process for a commercial glass replacement?

Before commencing any commercial glass replacement works, we attend the site to:

  • Conduct a pre-lim to accurately check the dimensions and specification of the defective glass.
  • Assess the glass type required, including toughened, laminated, heat-soak tested, or specialist performance glass, to ensure the replacement meets the same safety and thermal performance standards as the original unit.
  • Review existing units so that we can call upon our extensive network of supply partners to source either an exact match or the closest replacement possible, including matching tints, coatings, solar control specifications, and IGU configurations.

What specialist equipment do we use for commercial glass replacements?

At Dynamic Access, we use a variety of specialist equipment to conduct commercial glass replacements, including:

  • Self-erecting tower cranes
  • Glazing robots
  • Mobile floor cranes
  • Specialist glass suction lifters
  • IRATA rope access systems


For high level glass replacements in particular, our in-house IRATA-trained rope access technicians provide a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional scaffold access. This approach reduces downtime, limits disruption to the building and its occupants, and allows us to reach otherwise inaccessible glazing locations safely.

Is everything included in the price?

Absolutely. We supply all access and associated equipment required to conduct commercial glass replacements. Everything is clearly shown in our quotation, which means our clients can be assured of a total solution with no unexpected hidden costs. Where out-of-hours working is required, this is agreed and costed at quotation stage.

Commercial Glass Replacement FAQs

How much does a commercial glass replacement cost?
Cost depends on the glass specification, the height and access involved, the size of the unit, and programme requirements such as out-of-hours working. We attend site first, check dimensions and specification, then provide a clear itemised quotation with no hidden costs.

Can you replace glass at height without scaffolding?
Yes. For high level glass replacements, our in-house IRATA rope access technicians provide a faster and more cost-effective alternative to full scaffold erection. We also use MEWPs, self-erecting tower cranes, and existing cradle or gantry systems, depending on the access requirements of each site.

Do you offer emergency glass replacement?
Yes. We provide emergency make-safe and glass replacement services across the UK. If you have a broken or unsafe glazing unit that needs urgent attention, contact us, and we will respond as quickly as possible.

Can you match existing glass tints and coatings?
Yes. We assess the existing glass specification before ordering any replacement units. Our supply network allows us to source glass that closely matches the original tint, coating, solar control specification, and IGU configuration.

What types of glass can you replace?
We replace most commercial glass types, including toughened glass, laminated glass, heat-soak tested glass, solar control glass, and standard float glass. We also replace failed IGUs in curtain walling, rooflights, atriums, canopies, and commercial window systems.

How long does a commercial glass replacement take?
This varies with the size of the unit, access requirements, and the lead time on specialist glass. Single units can often be completed in a day once glass has been procured. Larger programmes involving multiple units or complex access are scoped and programmed at quotation stage.
