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.
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.
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.
Security glazing in North Yorkshire: questions
Do you fit security glass across North Yorkshire?
We can arrange work anywhere in North Yorkshire, including York, Middlesbrough, Harrogate, Scarborough and Redcar, and in other towns across the area.
How much does security glass cost in North Yorkshire?
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 North Yorkshire?
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 replace a single broken pane?
Yes. We replace broken panes and sealed units, and can upgrade the new glass to laminated at the same time.
