Trading as A1 Glass & Glazing (Shropshire) Limited · Telford · Service area: Telford, Market Drayton, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
A1 Glass & Glazing in short
A1 Glass & Glazing is a Wellington glazing and locksmith firm covering emergency repairs, boarding-up, windows and doors across Telford and Shropshire. Our judgement is that its one-call spread sets it apart: a break-in can go from made safe to repaired without finding a second contractor. The site states it has traded since the late nineties, and Constructionline approval with CHAS membership is stated alongside.
Customers rate A1 Glass & Glazing at four and a half stars on Google across a solid set of reviews, and this review rates it first in our September round for that emergency breadth backed by checkable company detail. The site invites a free quote by phone and publishes a Wellington address with email contact. What counts against it is paperwork: no insurance detail and no prices appear on the site, with pricing left to the free quote.
Our verdict
Our judgement: A1 suits you if you want a long-trading local firm covering both glazing and locks, useful when a damaged door needs securing as well as reglazing [1]. Constructionline and CHAS approvals are stated on the site [1]. What counts against it is the absence of published insurance details and prices [1].

Is A1 Glass & Glazing any good?
On the evidence, yes for urgent glass and lock jobs: it tops our Telford glaziers table, holds four and a half stars on Google, and covers glazing and locks in one call. Insurance and prices stay off the published record, so ask for proof of cover with your itemised quote. Send photos of the damage for the fastest answer.
Is A1 Glass & Glazing FENSA registered?
No FENSA or CERTASS listing is claimed on its site, and none could be sourced from the registers checked.

Ask which compliance route covers your job, and get the answer with the quote before work starts.
What does A1 Glass & Glazing charge?
It publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT terms; pricing comes through the free quote by phone. That means your quote does the talking: describe the panes, the frames and the urgency, and ask for an itemised figure covering glass, labour and clear-up. Agree the call-out terms for night work before anyone sets out.
