Laminated glass retrofit in Bebington: what will it cost?

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.

Getting the right glass for your building
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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 Bebington: questions
Can you survey in Bebington and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bebington, Birkenhead and Heswall are booked around 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.
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.
