I work for the royal British legion and I've recently taken over the greenhouse. It was neglected for a year after our gardener passed away, the greenhouse was donated by a family of a resident that also passed away a few years ago... after spending time getting ready for planting (when I get the right bits) some little tike decided to come in our gardens and smash a glass panel... where can I get a replacement? Or can someone tell me the make as I cant find on house... please help

    looks like 4mm toughened glass, maybe one of these will fit? https://www.greenhousesdirect.co.uk/spare-parts/glass-panes/

    If you cannot find a pane of toughened glass the correct size then think about using Perspex (not sure if it is called that these days), but B&Q sell it. I broke one of my panes of glass and replaced it with that. It was a lot cheaper. (And less easy to break!).

    Any glazing window supplier glass replacement company near you can supply the glass. Just measure and go and see them. Toughened glass is laser cut I believe so not all suppliers will have the laser cutter, but if not I'm sure can order for you for collection.
