How much does anti-ram-raid glazing cost in Bodmin?
Budget £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Bodmin, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
Anti-ram-raid glazing is heavy laminated or anti-bandit glass fitted in strengthened, deeply rebated frames so that, if a vehicle or heavy tool hits the shopfront, the opening is not simply cleared. Glass and frames delay entry; stopping the vehicle itself needs bollards, posts or barriers in front of the shop.

Cornwall's granite and slate cottages, harbourside shops and holiday lets face salt-laden coastal weather, and towns such as Truro, Falmouth and St Ives have conservation areas in their centres.

- Shops on corners or with open forecourts
- Premises that have already been rammed
- Convenience stores with cash machines inside
- Jewellers and pawnbrokers
Things to decide before you order
New frame or upgraded frame
Existing shopfront frames are rarely strong enough. Strengthened or new framing is usually part of the job.
Consent for bollards
Bollards on the public highway need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers may need planning permission.
Rules that apply in England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Bodmin: questions
Do you cover St Austell as well as Bodmin?
Yes. As well as Bodmin, we can arrange surveys in nearby St Austell, Newquay and Truro. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can glass stop a ram raid?
No. Glass cannot stop a vehicle. Strong laminated glass in a strengthened frame delays entry after impact; bollards or barriers are what stop the vehicle reaching the glass.
What glass is used against ram raids?
Usually anti-bandit laminated glass in the P6B to P8B classes, held in deep-rebate, reinforced framing so the pane does not fall out when the frame is struck.
Do I need permission for bollards outside my shop?
Usually. Bollards on a public pavement need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers or new shopfront framing may need planning permission. We tell you what to check.
