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

Phasing and budget

Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.

Glazing rules in England

England

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.

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 Walton-on-Thames: questions

Which areas near Walton-on-Thames do you cover?

We can arrange work in Walton-on-Thames and in nearby Sunbury-on-Thames (1 mile), Esher (2 miles) and Hampton (3 miles). 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.

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.
