What is the price of glazing bead security upgrades in Bognor Regis?

Allow £54 to £114 including VAT (£45 to £95 plus VAT) per window for glazing bead security upgrades in Bognor Regis, with a minimum charge of £174 including VAT (£145 plus VAT) per visit. The price is confirmed before we attend.

A glazing bead security upgrade makes the glass much harder to remove from the outside of a window or door. On frames with external beads, a burglar can sometimes prise off the beads and lift the whole unit out quietly, and bonding the glass with security tape or fitting bead clips makes that route much harder.

What is included

  • No change to how the window looks
  • Double-sided security glazing tape between unit and frame
  • Checks for missing or loose beads and packers
  • Beads replaced where cracked or brittle
  • Suitable for windows and glazed doors
  • Can be combined with laminated units

Visits in Bognor Regis and nearby

Bognor Regis is about 31 miles from Crawley, the main centre for West Sussex. We can arrange visits across the PO21 district and in nearby places such as Chichester and Littlehampton.

West Sussex includes Chichester's Georgian city centre, the seaside towns of Worthing and Bognor Regis, Crawley's new-town centre and business parks, and Horsham's market-town streets.

Typical reasons to book:

  • Older uPVC windows with beads on the outside
  • Glazed doors with external beads
  • Rented homes where frames are staying
  • Ground-floor and back windows

Things to think about

Glass at the same time

If units are misted or due for replacement, it is cheaper to fit laminated units and tape in one visit.

Which windows

Ground-floor and hidden windows come first; upstairs windows that cannot be reached are a lower priority.

Building regulations and safety in England

England

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Security rules for new homes

Approved Document Q has applied to new homes in England since 1 October 2015. Easily accessible doors and windows, meaning any part within 2 m vertically of the ground or another accessible surface, should meet PAS 24 or an equivalent, and glazing in doors and in windows within 400 mm of a door should be laminated to at least BS EN 356 P1A. It does not apply when you change the glass in an existing home, although it is a sensible benchmark.

How it works

  1. Send a photo of the bead side
  2. Visit price agreed
  3. Clips, tape or internal beads fitted
  4. Record of anything else we noticed

Glazing bead security upgrades in Bognor Regis: questions

Do you cover Chichester as well as Bognor Regis?

We can arrange work in Bognor Regis and in nearby Chichester (6 miles), Littlehampton (6 miles) and Worthing (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can burglars really remove the glass from outside?

On some externally beaded windows, yes. The beads can be eased off and the unit lifted out quietly. Security tape and clips make that much harder.

Does the glass have to come out to fit security tape?

Yes. Each unit is removed, the tape is applied to the frame and the unit is refitted, so it is a good moment to swap in laminated glass if wanted.

How do I know if my beads are on the outside?

Look at the glass from outside. If you can see a separate clip-in strip around the edge of the glass, and the frame inside is plain, the beads are external.
