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.
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.
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.
Security glazing in Nottinghamshire: questions
Do you fit security glass across Nottinghamshire?
We can arrange work anywhere in Nottinghamshire, including Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark-on-Trent and Arnold, and in other towns across the area.
How much does security glass cost in Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire?
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.
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.
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.
