About us

Allder Glass is a family company with over 100 years experience between the team. Incorporated in 1996 by key personnel from what was once Readings’ busiest glass and glazing company Allder Glass began. Most of our glaziers, therefore, have been part of the same team for in excess of 10 years, an essential part of our customer service. Not only that, but it makes the replacement of the largest of glass as smooth and fuss free as possible.

With a fleet of 10 fully equipped, modern vehicles, we are able to deal with anything from a small green house repair to a  14^th floor replacement double glazed unit at the top of Readings’ tallest building, Broad Street Malls’ Fountain House.Our lengthy association with some of the countries leading insurance companies is a credit to our 100% genuine 24hour service. In our strive to offer the complete maintenance solution, we are supported by other proven tradesmen in the form of locksmiths, carpenters, builders, roofers, plumbers and electricians.

Many operations, ranging from the Oracle Shopping Centre to Reading Railway Station rely on us to help them with any glazing problem that they may have. Other operations call on us when a glazing problem arises, whether it is a broken high specification double glazed unit on the roof of Reading’s premier shopping centre, or a door panel at the south’s busiest railway station.

We are contracted by Reading Borough, Wokingham District, Wokingham Town, Woodley Town, Newbury Town and Maidenhead and Bray Councils. Our staff are fully vetted, uniformed and carry I.D. cards, which we believe is only appropriate when being the chosen supplier of schools such as St Crispin’s, Holt, Maiden Erleigh, Bearwood College, Edgebarrow, Forrest, Embrook, St Peters Church of England Nine Mile Ride, Luckley Oakfield, Reading University and Addington Special Needs.

Our product knowledge is extensive, drawing on our combined experience of over 100 years. We have a dedicated team with a passion to solve complex glass and glazing requirements. Anything glass and were are interested – from Ann Summers merchandising displays to thermally insulating a Formula 1 museum. We have on site, vast selections of currently produced high performance glass as well as obsolete varieties to enable quick identification. This is all backed up by the technical advisory services departments of all the leading glass manufacturers Pilkington, Glaverbel and Saint Gobain, all of whom we have accounts with.

In today’s world of Health and Safety, we are proud of our “old dog, new tricks” success in being forefront in the education of the glazing industry. We are dedicated to safety at work and have a stringent HSE Policy. We are proud of our 100% accident free history, excluding a minor cut or two!!

All of our corporate clients will be offered a copy of the relevant Risk Assessments and Method Statements prior to the commencement or any work taking place. These are produced as a matter of course and kept on file. Our staff regularly attends courses and in addition to standard first aid, we have access platform licensed operators.

We are able to offer full account facilities after satisfactory credit checks have been carried out and can provide short term accounts for emergency situations where, because of a Health and Safety emergency, time does not permit these checks prior to attendance.
