Anti-ram-raid glazing in Leicester

How much should I budget for anti-ram-raid glazing in Leicester?

Expect £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Leicester. The written quote names the glass makeup, the price and the lead time before you commit.

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.

Fitting in Leicester and nearby

We can arrange anti-ram-raid glazing across Leicester, the main centre for Leicestershire, and in nearby towns including Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.

Leicestershire combines Leicester's city-centre and suburban shopping streets and Victorian terraces with market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough.

Common uses:

Shops on corners or with open forecourts
Premises that have already been rammed
Phone, electronics and tobacco retailers
Convenience stores with cash machines inside

What to think about first

Consent for bollards

Bollards on the public highway need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers may need planning permission.

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.

Consents and safety: 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 Leicester: questions

Which areas near Leicester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Leicester and in nearby Oadby (3 miles), Wigston (4 miles) and Loughborough (9 miles). 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.

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.
