What is the price of anti-ram-raid glazing in Portadown?
Guide prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Portadown are £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
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.
Consent for bollards
Bollards on the public highway need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers may need planning permission.
Building regulations and safety in 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 Portadown: questions
Do you cover Craigavon as well as Portadown?
Yes. As well as Portadown, we can arrange surveys in nearby Craigavon, Lurgan and Banbridge. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
