How much should I budget for commercial reglazing in Southampton?
Budget £395 to £2,495 plus VAT (£474 to £2,994 inc VAT) per pane for commercial reglazing in Southampton, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
Commercial reglazing is the replacement of glass in office facades, shopfronts, curtain walling and internal screens, whether it is damaged, misted, unsafe or being upgraded. It often involves large panes, access equipment and work planned around a building that stays open.

What to think about first
Access
Ground-level panes may need only towers; upper panes may need a boom lift and highway permits. We plan and price access up front.
Match or upgrade
Like-for-like keeps the facade consistent. Upgrading to laminated or safety glass is often worth it at ground level.
Consents and safety: England
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.

Commercial reglazing in Southampton: questions
Do you cover Hythe as well as Southampton?
Yes. As well as Southampton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you match our existing tinted glass?
Usually closely. Some older coatings are no longer made, so we source the nearest match and explain any difference before ordering.
Do you work on curtain walling?
Yes, replacing glass within existing curtain wall and shopfront systems, subject to a survey of the framing and gaskets.
Should we upgrade to laminated glass while reglazing?
At ground level and in doors, often yes. It adds safety and security for a modest extra cost.
