Anti-ram-raid glazing in Larne

What is the price of anti-ram-raid glazing in Larne?

As a guide, allow £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Larne, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey

New frame or upgraded frame

Existing shopfront frames are rarely strong enough. Strengthened or new framing is usually part of the job.

Insurer requirements

Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.

Building regulations and safety in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Glazing in workplaces

The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 contain an equivalent requirement to Great Britain's: windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates must be of safety material or protected where health or safety requires it, and marked so they are apparent. The employer's risk assessment decides where.

Planning permission

Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the eleven councils, which decide whether a new or altered shopfront needs permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers on a public footway need consent from the Department for Infrastructure's roads service.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Larne: questions

Do you cover Carrickfergus as well as Larne?

Yes. As well as Larne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Bangor. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Can you strengthen my existing shopfront?

Sometimes, with reinforced mullions and better glass retention, but many frontages need new framing to make the glass upgrade worthwhile.

Should I move stock away from the window?

Yes. Keeping high-value stock away from the glass at night reduces the reward and complements the physical measures.
