What should anti-ram-raid glazing cost in Cookstown?
Budget £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Cookstown, 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.

- Night-time stock layout advice

Before the glass is ordered
Insurer requirements
Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.
New frame or upgraded frame
Existing shopfront frames are rarely strong enough. Strengthened or new framing is usually part of the job.
Glazing rules 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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass and sash windows. The Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advises on these cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Cookstown: questions
Which areas near Cookstown do you cover?
We can arrange work in Cookstown and in nearby Magherafelt (10 miles), Dungannon (10 miles) and Portadown (19 miles). 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.
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.
