Just accidently broken one of the panes of glass in one of my louver windows. Anyone know where I might be able to get a replacement quickly?

Thanks Dave, would any glass company do or does it need to be an autoglass specialist? I know the windscreens are reinforced, not sure about the louver ones.

When it broke - what happened to the glass?? That'll tell you what sort of glass it is.....
I've no idea at all what glass it is in there, fortunately never yet broken one, but you should be able to get reinforced glass from most glaziers tbh......

I have found out today it was hardened glass, and it shattered into a million pieces when I clipped it. Got quotes of around £15 for the pane and would be a week to have it in hardened glass.
Then rang another normal household glass cutting place and they said laminated glass (like used in windscreens) would be fine. Cost me £2.50, made up while I waited.
Thanks for advice guys.
