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

- Stallriser and threshold strengthening

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: Wales
Planning permission
In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.
Insurer requirements
Insurers in Wales, as elsewhere, can set conditions for premises, stock and cash, sometimes naming a BS EN 356 class for shop or counter glass. Get the policy wording in writing before ordering. The insurer decides whether the glass meets it, and the glass manufacturer's test evidence comes with our quote.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Caerphilly: questions
Which areas near Caerphilly do you cover?
We can arrange work in Caerphilly and in nearby Risca (6 miles), Pontypridd (6 miles) and Cardiff (7 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 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.
