Greater London has every kind of glazing, from Georgian sashes and Victorian bays in conservation areas to high-street shopfronts, office curtain walling and new-build flats.

This glazing suits:

Homes with sound uPVC or aluminium windows
Shops wanting more security without a new frontage
Buildings where frames are too new to replace
Offices with older glazing

Questions we will ask at the survey

Frame condition

If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.

Class of glass

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

Building regulations and safety in England

England

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.

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 Kilburn: questions

Which areas near Kilburn do you cover?

We can arrange work in Kilburn and in nearby Cricklewood (1 mile), Chalk Farm (2 miles) and Camden Town (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Will the windows look different?

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