How much should I budget for anti-ram-raid glazing in Bexley?
Budget £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Bexley, 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.

What to think about first
Insurer requirements
Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.
Consent for bollards
Bollards on the public highway need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers may need planning permission.
Consents and safety: 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 Bexley: questions
Which areas near Bexley do you cover?
We can arrange work in Bexley and in nearby Welling (2 miles), Dartford (3 miles) and Swanley (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
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.
