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.

Fitting in Pudsey and nearby
Pudsey is about 5 miles from Leeds, the main centre for West Yorkshire. We can survey and fit across the LS28 district and in nearby places such as Bradford and Morley.
West Yorkshire mixes the offices and Victorian arcades of Leeds with stone terraces and mill buildings in Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield, and Wakefield's town-centre retail.
Common uses:
- Buildings where frames are too new to replace
- Offices with older glazing
- Shops wanting more security without a new frontage
- Blocks of flats with communal glazing
What to think about first
Which elevations first
Ground-floor, rear and hidden glass carries most of the risk, so it usually comes first.
Frame condition
If a frame is too shallow, damaged or weak, we will say so rather than fit heavier glass into it.
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 Pudsey: questions
Which areas near Pudsey do you cover?
We can arrange work in Pudsey and in nearby Bradford (4 miles), Morley (5 miles) and Leeds (5 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.
Can you do the work in phases?
Yes. Many customers start with the most exposed windows and do the rest later.
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.
