How much should I budget for laminated glass retrofit in Fleet?
Budget £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane for laminated glass retrofit in Fleet, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the 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.
What you can specify
- Laminated single panes or laminated sealed units
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting
- Matched to existing rebate depth and beads
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Phased work by elevation or floor

What to think about first
Which elevations first
Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.
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.
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 Fleet: questions
Do you cover Farnborough as well as Fleet?
Yes. As well as Fleet, we can arrange surveys in nearby Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley. Dates depend on installer availability.
Will the windows look different?
No. The frames stay and the new glass is clear, unless you choose an obscure or tinted finish.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
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.
