Anti-ram-raid glazing in Norwich

What is the price of anti-ram-raid glazing in Norwich?

Guide prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Norwich 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.

Fitting in Norwich and nearby

Surveys in Norwich (NR2) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Wymondham (9 miles) and North Walsham (14 miles).

Norfolk centres on Norwich's medieval lanes and listed shopfronts, with flint-built market towns, Georgian King's Lynn and seaside Great Yarmouth and Cromer facing the North Sea.

This glazing suits:

Premises that have already been rammed
Jewellers and pawnbrokers
Phone, electronics and tobacco retailers
Convenience stores with cash machines inside

Questions we will ask at the survey

New frame or upgraded frame

Existing shopfront frames are rarely strong enough. Strengthened or new framing is usually part of the job.

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.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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.

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.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Norwich: questions

Can you survey in Norwich and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Norwich, Wymondham and North Walsham are booked around 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.

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.

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.
