Double Glazing Repairs, without the expense of new windows

Most of the windows we see don't need replacing at all. A unit has misted, a stay has gone or a handle has worked loose. We fix the part that has failed and leave the rest of the window alone.

Failed or misted double glazed units

Do you have failed or misted double glazed units? Look no further! We can replace double glazed units in timber, aluminium and UPVC window frames with the minimum amount of upheaval or fuss. All our replacement double glazed units carry a 5 year manufacturers warranty and are constructed to the relevant British Standard and carry a BS Kite mark.

Window hinges (stays), handles and locks

If your windows are not opening or closing properly you may just need your hinges or stays replaced. No need to go to the expense of replacing your windows. If your handles are slack or loose they might just need adjusted or tightened. If your locks or locking handles are not working, these are easy and inexpensive to replace.

Energy Saving Double Glazed Units

You can reduce your Carbon Footprint and heating bill by replacing your existing double glazed units with Pilkington Energikare or Planitherm double glazed units for better energy efficient windows. Did you know that 25% of the heat in your house escapes through your windows?

Replacement Polycarbonate

Broken, damaged or vandalised polycarbonate sheeting in bicycle shelters, supermarket trolley shelters or smoke shelters, or just fed up with replacing glass in vulnerable areas? Polycarbonate comes in a clear or obscure format. It is unbreakable, so you only install it once and stop the recurring replacement costs for good.

24hr Emergency Board Up Service

As a business owner, have you ever had a distressing phone call during the night from the Police saying your premises has been vandalised, or that storm damage has left it unprotected? We work with many commercial businesses throughout Kilmarnock and Ayrshire, and our 24hr emergency board up service sees us on site within hours. Your property stays protected until new glazing can be installed.

That is what happened to Mr and Mrs Tannahill in John Finnie Street, Kilmarnock. We were on site within hours to make the shop secure, and the window was reglazed before 10am the next morning.

“Incredible service, sustained storm damage at our premises on Friday 24th Jan and A1 were on site at 0930 the next day. Did a very tidy job and made a substantial temporary fix. Would always recommend.”

Paul Mann, Google review

Storm Damage

We are proud to be associated with Glasgow Prestwick International Airport, carrying out maintenance and emergency repairs there since 1992. We have been called on many times for emergency board ups during storms, on the rooflights and on repairs to the main concourse front elevation, often at short notice. However small or large the customer, it is our service that sets us apart.

Coloured Splash Backs, cut to your kitchen

Revamp and transform your kitchen or bathroom with coloured glass splash backs. We come to your home, discuss what you want, then return with your estimate.

Every splash back is made to measure in the colour of your choice. No more cut tiles and unsightly grout lines round sockets and cabinets, because each one is cut to a matching template.

Thank you very much for the help and professionalism shown to me by your company.

When I first contacted you I didn’t really know what I was looking for or wanted, but thanks to you and your staff my Kitchen has turned out much better that I would have hoped for.

The black splash backs have turned my kitchen into a lovely feature of my home I am delighted with them.

Window film for glare, heat and UV

Solar gain and glare can be a massive problem at home and at work. Kilmarnock College had exactly that in its cafeteria. We supplied Reflective Silver 20 window film to the windows, which made a better and healthier space for staff and students. In the maintenance office, where nobody could see the computer screens for glare, the same film nullified the problem and added a level of privacy.

Solar Glare

Can't see the computer screens in the office for the glare.

We come out and give you a free quotation to supply and fit reflective Silver, Gold or Bronze window film. It cuts down the glare so you can use your computer again, and gives a level of privacy too.

Glare/Heat Build Up

A magnificent conservatory you can't use, because of the glare on the TV or the heat building up under the roof.

We supply and fit reflective window film to either glass or polycarbonate roof panels. Nine times out of ten it only needs fitting to the internal side of the roof panels, and it protects your furniture and carpets from the sun's UV rays as well.

UV protection with Dermagard

A son or daughter with a skin complaint that reacts to the UV rays from the sun.

We supply and fit a window film called Dermagard, which breaks down the damaging UV rays the sun gives off. It is applied to the internal side of the glass and is relatively clear, so they can walk around your home freely.

Also in stock: solar, privacy, safety and security, emergency glazing, decorative, tinting and anti graffiti window films. Ask us for a free quotation.

We are a family owned company and are proud of the fact that we have expanded the company while still keeping to the original values of the firm of fast, reliable, efficient and expert service and are still based in the same area of Kilmarnock in which we started and cover all of Scotland.”

We work with other local companies on a service built on trust and local knowledge, believing that your best job is your last job, and word of mouth. Our staff are all committed to delivering an “A1” service, and that's why we are still Kilmarnock's number one glass and glazing company.

“Top service! I m lost for words frankly! Absolute breath of fresh air using these pros, everything from the minute I got in touch was just easy, products are top class, service is prompt, professional, reliable, polite, on time, no messing about! Amazing! Pricing was very reasonable too.”

Petitpois Ecossais, Google review, 5 months ago

“Strimmer mishap led to smashed greenhouse glass. One phone call to A1 Glass and a new pane was cut and ready for collection within minutes, after explaining options and costs. Hopefully I won't need to visit again but highly recommend for anyone looking for greenhouse glass replacement.”

Elizabeth Hopkins, Google review, 2 months ago

“Just bought a piece of replacement glass for a coffee table from A1 Glass and I'm delighted with it. It was made to my exact dimensions (thank god it fitted perfectly haha) and it was ready for collection really quickly. Shout out to the boys in the office for responding to all my emails so quickly, 10/10.”

Alan Dow, Google review, 2 years ago

“Absolutely first class service, Ty! Always a bit trepidatious going to these trade places as, particularly as a woman, not sure what type of reception you'll get...the guys at A1 were magic, made me feel welcome, offered good advice and cut 4 pieces of glass for a dressing table top and shelves perfectly, having them ready the next day and even carrying them out to the car and all at a very reasonable price. Wasn't sure if they took on small jobs, but they said they could do eg picture frame glass while you wait, so I am sure I will use them again and would very happily recommend! Quite rare, but great to find people doing the thing they say they do reliably, courteously and at a good price ⭐”

From customers who have used us for years

“We have known the staff at A1 Glass for a number of years and have found them to be very friendly and willing to offer advice on all aspects of glazing and repair should this be required. They provide an efficient service (sometimes at very short notice) along with competitive pricing.”

Elaine, Key Technical Services

“I have found A1 Glass Co Ltd over the years to be the type of firm I like to do business with. The office staff are friendly and no matter the size of the work to be done an estimate is prepared shortly. The tradesmen sent to carry out the work are also very friendly and keep you informed.”

“I would not use any other glazing firm as I find A1 Glass Co Ltd exactly what I expect from a firm and would recommend then to my friends.”

Mr Faulds, Kilmarnock

“…year I contacted A Glass for an estimate to replace the existing double glazed units in my house with Low E energy saving double glazed units. I found the estimator who called to be very informative and I got my quotation the next day. I was really surprised at how inexpensive it was and was glad to go ahead with the work. The tradesmen who carried out the work were very clean and efficient and the replacement glass was installed with the minimum amount of disruption or fuss.”

“I would be happy to recommend A1 Glass to anyone, keep up the good work!”

Mr Ross Field, Kilmarnock
