An Emergency Glazing Register to help property owners quickly find reliable and professional emergency glazing companies to make their properties safe and reasonably secure in an emergency, has been launched by the Glass & Glazing Federation.
The main reasons for the new register were based on reports of property owners having difficulty in finding professional glaziers that offered a genuine 24/7 emergency service.
GGF member and Emergency Glazing Group spokesman, Paul Rogers of Express Glazing Contractors, says: “Nobody knows when an emergency glazier will be urgently needed, to ‘make-safe’ and then re-glaze. It was essential for the GGF to set up the register with the hot link on the GGF website homepage to help people quickly find a genuine emergency glazing.”
The register contains 66 companies/outlets offering UK wide coverage. On the register are instant contact details of all GGF member companies who operate a 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year emergency service.
James Lee, GGF marketing and communications manager, explains: “With emergency glazing being a key service that sits just behind police, fire and ambulance services, it was vital that the GGF set up an instantly accessible list of companies that can make properties safe and reasonably secure. The GGF members on the register all comply with the Emergency Glazing criteria set out by the GGF.”
