What to do if you have a broken window
If you have a broken window, it raises many concerns about safety, warmth, and costs. The first thing you need to do is make the area safe, then call a reputable glazier. Should you find yourself in the position where there’s a crack in the pane, if it’s safe for you to do so, make sure to carefully secure it by using some tape. This will minimise the risk of further damage or injury to anyone.
