How much should I budget for laminated glass retrofit in Hayes?

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.
What you can specify
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Phased work by elevation or floor
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Security tape and bead clips where needed

What to think about first
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.

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.
Safety glass in critical locations
In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Laminated glass retrofit in Hayes: questions
Do you cover Southall as well as Hayes?
Yes. As well as Hayes, we can arrange surveys in nearby Southall, Heston and Greenford. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
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.
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.
