What is the price of security glass for home windows in Stranraer?
As a guide, security glass for home windows costs £162 to £474 including VAT (£135 to £395 plus VAT) per window. Because work in Stranraer is arranged individually, we confirm the full price, including any travel, in writing first.
Security glass for home windows means replacing the glass in your existing frames with laminated glass or sealed units that have a laminated pane. The windows look and open exactly as before, but breaking the glass becomes a slow, noisy job rather than a quick way into the house.
Choices you can make
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
- Same overall thickness as your current units where possible
- Low-E glass and argon to keep rooms warm
- Obscure glass for bathrooms and landings
- Security tape or clips on externally beaded windows
- Works with uPVC, aluminium and timber frames

Questions we will ask at the survey
Keep or replace frames
If the frames are sound, new glass is the cheaper upgrade. If they are failing, we will tell you so you can compare with new windows.
Which windows first
Start with windows that can be reached without a ladder and are out of sight from the street. We can schedule the rest for later.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Replacing glass in an existing frame
In Scotland, replacing glass in an existing frame is normally treated as a repair rather than work needing a building warrant. Whether replacing whole windows or doors needs a warrant depends on the building, and the work should still meet the building standards. The council's building standards service can confirm what applies.
Windows needed for escape
In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by section 2 (fire) of the Building Standards technical handbooks. Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted to it should stop it opening, so locks, secondary glazing and film must leave it usable. Laminated glass is not designed to be broken out.

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

Mostly ground-floor windows at the back and side, and windows that can be reached from flat roofs or walls. Those are the ones we suggest upgrading first.
