What should security glass for home windows cost in County Londonderry?

Budget £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window for security glass for home windows in County Londonderry, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Frames, handles and locks left in place
Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames

Before the glass is ordered

A laminated inner pane suits most homes. Laminating both panes adds protection on hidden elevations.

Externally beaded windows can have the glass removed from outside. We fit security tape or clips so that route is closed.

Glazing rules in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Replacing glass in an existing frame

Building regulations in Northern Ireland are administered by the eleven councils' building control services. Replacing only the glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair, while replacing whole windows or doors can be controlled work, so check with building control first. New glass in a critical location should be safety glass under Part V.

Safety glass in critical locations

In Northern Ireland, safety glazing is covered by Part V of the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with guidance in Technical Booklet V. It follows a critical-location approach similar to Great Britain, covering glazing in and beside doors and at low level. Laminated or toughened safety glass is the usual answer; building control at the council can confirm the detail.

Security glass for home windows in County Londonderry: questions

Which towns in County Londonderry do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in County Londonderry, including Coleraine, Derry, Limavady and Magherafelt.

Does replacing the glass need building regulations approval?

Replacing glass in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. Replacing whole windows is controlled work: notifiable in England and Wales, and in Scotland and Northern Ireland the council's building control can say whether approval is needed. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.

Do I need new windows to get security glass?

No. If your frames are in good condition, we replace just the glass with laminated units made to fit them.

Can you match my obscure bathroom glass?

We can usually match common obscure patterns, or fit a laminated obscure glass with a similar look.
