London Window & Door Repairs has completed an emergency shopfront glazing replacement at The Camel & Artichoke Pub in SE1, following extensive damage to the main entrance glazing.
The shopfront door glass panel was shattered, and other sections of the glazing were damaged during the incident. As the pub is situated in a high-traffic public area, the broken glass presented an immediate safety hazard to customers, staff and pedestrians. Our objective was to secure the site, remove all hazardous materials and restore the entrance as quickly as possible.
Upon arrival, it was clear that the damage required urgent attention. The glazing of the main shopfront door was broken, leaving the entrance exposed to the elements and insecure.
Our findings included:
- Shattered glass panel in the shopfront door
- Damage to adjacent glazed shopfront panels
- Restricted access for customers and staff
- Potential risk of further glass breakage
- Security concerns due to the exposed entrance
As the property is a busy pub and restaurant, it was essential to repair the shopfront rapidly to minimise disruption and maintain security.
A team of three experienced commercial glazing engineers performed the work safely and efficiently.
The immediate priority was to secure the area and eliminate any hazards. Prior to replacement, the broken and unstable glass was carefully removed, and the entrance was secured.
The emergency works included:
- Site safety and hazard control assessment
- Removal of broken and damaged glass
- Safe disposal of hazardous glass materials
- Installation of replacement safety glass in the shopfront and door frame
- Full reinstatement of the shopfront glazing system
The damaged glass was removed, and a new toughened safety glass panel was installed to match the existing shopfront design.
The replacement was executed with precise fitting, alignment and sealing to ensure the door operates smoothly and provides long-term durability. The surrounding glazing was also reinstated, restoring the frontage to its original appearance and performance.
“The shopfront has been restored to its former condition, allowing The Camel & Artichoke Pub to continue trading safely and securely.” The new glazing has improved the appearance, functionality and safety of the entrance by removing broken glass hazards.
The project was delivered efficiently, with minimal disruption to the business and the surrounding public area.
