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.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Security glazing in Devon: questions
Do you fit security glass across Devon?
We can arrange work anywhere in Devon, including Plymouth, Exeter, Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot, and in other towns across the area.
How much does security glass cost in Devon?
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 Devon?
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.
Who fits the glass?
Glaziers working under our contract with you. You deal with us from survey to handover.
How long does fitting take?
Most panes and sealed units take under an hour each once the glass arrives; a shopfront or large pane may take a day.
