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
- Phased work by elevation or floor
- Pane-by-pane record of glass fitted
- Security tape and bead clips where needed
- Hinge, stay and roller adjustment after fitting

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.
Phasing and budget
Retrofits phase easily. You can upgrade the riskiest panes now and the rest later.
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 Stratford-upon-Avon: questions
Do you cover Warwick as well as Stratford-upon-Avon?
Yes. As well as Stratford-upon-Avon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth. 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.
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.
