A laminated glass retrofit replaces the glass in frames you already have with laminated glass or laminated sealed units, so an existing building gets much more resistance to break-in without the cost and disruption of new windows. It suits homes, offices and shops where the frames are still sound.

Getting the right glass for your building

Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.

Class of glass

P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.

What the rules say 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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Laminated glass retrofit in Long Eaton: questions

Do you cover Ilkeston as well as Long Eaton?

Yes. As well as Long Eaton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford. Dates depend on installer availability.

Will the windows look different?

No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.

Will laminated glass fit my frames?

Most modern frames can take a laminated unit of the same overall thickness. We check the rebate depth and beads at the survey.

Do I need permission to change the glass?

Changing glass in existing frames is generally treated as a repair. Listed buildings may still need listed building consent, so check with the council.
