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.
Glass and fitting options
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Phased work by elevation or floor
- Frames, finishes and locks unchanged
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
Fitting in Paignton and nearby
From the TQ3 district we also cover Torquay (3 miles) and Newton Abbot (7 miles). Survey dates depend on installer availability.
Devon spans Exeter's Georgian and post-war centre, Plymouth's rebuilt 1950s shopping streets and waterfront offices, and seaside towns where sea air is hard on window frames and seals.
This glazing suits:
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
- Shops wanting more security without a new frontage
- Buildings where frames are too new to replace
- Homes with sound uPVC or aluminium windows
Questions we will ask at the survey
Class of glass
P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.
Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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.

Laminated glass retrofit in Paignton: questions
Can you survey in Paignton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Paignton, Torquay and Newton Abbot are booked around installer availability.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
Will the windows look different?
No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.
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.
