Anti-ram-raid glazing in Ashington

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

Budget £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Ashington, 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.

Shops on corners or with open forecourts

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.

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.

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 Ashington: questions

Do you cover Blyth as well as Ashington?

Yes. As well as Ashington, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blyth, Morpeth and Cramlington. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.
