Rules that apply in England
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.
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.
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.
Security glazing in Wigston: questions
Do you fit security glass in Wigston?
Yes. We can arrange surveys and fitting in Wigston and the LE18 area.
How much does security glass cost in Wigston?
Expect £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window for security glass for home windows in Wigston. The written quote names the glass makeup, the price and the lead time before you commit.
Can you survey in Wigston and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wigston, Oadby and Leicester are booked around installer availability.
Can security glass replace fire-rated glass?
No. Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated and tested in that system. Security glass is not a substitute.
Do I need approval to replace glass?
In England and Wales, replacing glass alone in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors is notifiable building work. Scotland uses building warrants and Northern Ireland its own building control system, so ask the council's building control if you are unsure. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass everywhere.
