Anti-ram-raid glazing in Basildon

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

Guide prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Basildon 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

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Basildon: questions

Do you cover Stanford-le-Hope as well as Basildon?

Yes. As well as Basildon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Stanford-le-Hope, Wickford and Billericay. 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.
