Rules that apply in England
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.
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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

How much does security glass cost in Billericay?
As a guide, allow £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window for security glass for home windows in Billericay, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
Do you cover Basildon as well as Billericay?
Yes. As well as Billericay, we can arrange surveys in nearby Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood. Dates depend on installer availability.
Does a listed building need consent to change glass?
It can. Historic glass is part of a listed building's character, so check with the council's conservation officer first.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Broken glass replacement and bead security visits are charged, and the price is confirmed before we attend. For broken glass, the visit charge is deducted from the price if you go ahead with the replacement.
