Laminated glass retrofit in Reigate

What is the price of laminated glass retrofit in Reigate?

Budget £174 to £534 including VAT (£145 to £445 plus VAT) per pane for laminated glass retrofit in Reigate, 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Building regulations and safety 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.

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 Reigate: questions

Do you cover Redhill as well as Reigate?

Yes. As well as Reigate, we can arrange surveys in nearby Redhill, Horley and Banstead. 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.

Will the windows look different?

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

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.
