Rules that apply in England
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.
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.
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.

Do you fit security glass in Colne?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Colne and the BB8 area.
How much does security glass cost in Colne?
Budget £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window for security glass for home windows in Colne, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
Can you survey in Colne and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Colne, Nelson and Burnley are booked around installer availability.
Can laminated glass go in my existing windows?
Usually, yes, if the frames are sound and the rebate is deep enough for the new pane or unit.
Which security rating do I need?
Homes usually need P1A to P2A under BS EN 356, shops P4A to P6B, and high-value premises P6B to P8B. Your insurer may set the level.
