Anti-ram-raid glazing in Thetford: what will it cost?
Guide prices for anti-ram-raid glazing in Thetford 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.

Typical settings for anti-ram-raid glazing:
- Phone, electronics and tobacco retailers
- Shops on corners or with open forecourts
- Premises that have already been rammed
- Convenience stores with cash machines inside
Getting the right glass for your building
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 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.
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 Thetford: questions
Do you cover Bury St Edmunds as well as Thetford?
Yes. As well as Thetford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bury St Edmunds, Diss and Wymondham. 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.
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.
