How much does anti-ram-raid glazing cost in Hawick?
As a guide, allow £1,495 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £8,394 inc VAT) per shopfront for anti-ram-raid glazing in Hawick, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Things to decide before you order
Insurer requirements
Insurers often set conditions after a raid. Get their wording before ordering so the scheme meets it.
Consent for bollards
Bollards on the public highway need the highway authority's agreement, and forecourt barriers may need planning permission.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Planning permission
Under the Scottish planning system the council decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission; changing the glass in an existing frame usually does not. Bollards or barriers in a road or footway need consent from the roads authority, which is normally the council.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Hawick: questions
Can you survey in Hawick and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Hawick, Galashiels and Kelso 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 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.
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.
