How much should I budget for anti-ram-raid glazing in Farnborough?
Guide prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Farnborough 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.

What to think about first
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.

Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.
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 Farnborough: questions
Can you survey in Farnborough and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Farnborough, Camberley and Aldershot are booked around installer availability.
Can glass stop a ram raid?
No. Glass cannot stop a vehicle. Strong laminated glass in a strengthened frame delays entry after impact; bollards or barriers are what stop the vehicle reaching the glass.
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.
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.
