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.
Choices you can make
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Frames, finishes and locks unchanged
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
- Survey of every frame before ordering

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.
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.

Laminated glass retrofit in Becontree: questions
Which areas near Becontree do you cover?
We can arrange work in Becontree and in nearby Dagenham (2 miles), Barking (2 miles) and Ilford (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Is retrofitting cheaper than new windows?
Usually, yes, because frames, plastering and making good are not involved. It only makes sense where the frames are sound.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
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.
