Fitting in Great Yarmouth and nearby
Great Yarmouth is about 18 miles from Norwich, the main centre for Norfolk. We can survey and fit across the NR30 district and in nearby places such as Lowestoft and Norwich.
Norfolk centres on Norwich's medieval lanes and listed shopfronts, with flint-built market towns, Georgian King's Lynn and seaside Great Yarmouth and Cromer facing the North Sea.
This glazing suits:
- Ground-floor windows at the back of the house
- Windows beside flat roofs, porches and extensions
- Flats on walkways and balconies
- Bungalows, where every window is at ground level
Questions we will ask at the survey
Beads inside or out
Externally beaded windows can have the glass removed from outside. We fit security tape or clips so that route is closed.
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.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
Windows needed for escape
Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

Security glass for home windows in Great Yarmouth: questions
Which areas near Great Yarmouth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Great Yarmouth and in nearby Lowestoft (9 miles), Norwich (18 miles) and North Walsham (21 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Which windows do burglars target?
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.
Will security glass make my home warmer or colder?
Choosing low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers usually matches or beats older units, so most people notice no change or an improvement.
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.
