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.

- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units

- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
Before the glass is ordered
Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
Glazing rules 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.
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 Shepherds Bush: questions
Can you survey in Shepherds Bush and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill and Chiswick 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 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.
