How much should I budget for laminated glass retrofit in Putney?
As a guide, allow £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane for laminated glass retrofit in Putney, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Frames, finishes and locks unchanged
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Survey of every frame before ordering

What to think about first
Class of glass
P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.
