Rules that apply in England
Glazing in workplaces
Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.
Security rules for new homes
Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

How much does security glass cost in Bristol?
As a guide, laminated security glass costs £145 to £495 plus VAT (£174 to £594 inc VAT) per pane, anti-bandit glass £450 to £2,995 plus VAT (£540 to £3,594 inc VAT) per pane and security film £45 to £110 plus VAT (£54 to £132 inc VAT) per m², supplied and fitted. Fixed prices follow a free survey.
Do I need permission to replace glass in Bristol?
Replacing glass in an existing frame is usually treated as a repair rather than notifiable building work, but new glass in a critical location (doors, side panels and low-level glazing) should be safety glass under Approved Document K. Listed buildings may need listed building consent. The rules section on this page has the detail.
Do you replace glass in windows you did not fit?
Yes, in most uPVC, aluminium and timber frames, subject to the frame's condition.
Can you work outside business hours?
Early or late slots can usually be arranged for shops and offices, subject to the installer's schedule.
