Laminated glass retrofit in Tottenham

How much does laminated glass retrofit cost in Tottenham?

Our guide range for laminated glass retrofit in Tottenham is £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Blocks of flats with communal glazing

Offices with older glazing

Things to decide before you order

Which elevations first

Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.

Frame condition

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

Rules that apply 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.

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 Tottenham: questions

Do you cover Edmonton as well as Tottenham?

Yes. As well as Tottenham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Edmonton, Wood Green and Walthamstow. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

Will the windows look different?

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