Anti-ram-raid glazing in Shepherds Bush: what will it cost?
Typical prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Shepherds Bush are £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.
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.

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.
What the rules say in England
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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Shepherds Bush: questions
Which areas near Shepherds Bush do you cover?
We can arrange work in Shepherds Bush and in nearby Notting Hill (1 mile), Chiswick (2 miles) and Fulham (2 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.
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.
