How much should I budget for anti-ram-raid glazing in Cannock?
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 Cannock, 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.

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.
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: 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.
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.

Anti-ram-raid glazing in Cannock: questions
Do you cover Burntwood as well as Cannock?
Yes. As well as Cannock, we can arrange surveys in nearby Burntwood, Bloxwich and Rugeley. Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
