What should anti-ram-raid glazing cost in Dungannon?
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 Dungannon, 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.

Before the glass is ordered
Stop the vehicle or delay entry
Bollards and barriers stop vehicles; glass and frames delay entry afterwards. Most sites need both, and we explain which layer does what.
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
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.
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.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Dungannon: questions
Can you survey in Dungannon and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Dungannon, Cookstown and Armagh are booked around 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.
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.
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.
