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
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Survey of every frame before ordering
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting

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.
Common uses:
- Homes with sound uPVC or aluminium windows
- Shops wanting more security without a new frontage
- Offices with older glazing
- Buildings where frames are too new to replace
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.
Class of glass
P2A suits most homes and offices. Shops and cash areas may need P4A or anti-bandit classes.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

Laminated glass retrofit in Willesden: questions
Do you cover Cricklewood as well as Willesden?
Yes. As well as Willesden, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cricklewood, Notting Hill and Shepherds Bush. 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 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.
