How much should I budget for patio and bifold door security glass in Crowthorne?
Budget £354 to £1,074 including VAT (£295 to £895 plus VAT) per pane for patio and bifold door security glass in Crowthorne, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
Patio and bifold door security glass means fitting large sealed units with a laminated pane into sliding, French or bifolding doors. These doors are usually the biggest glass at the back of the house and out of view, so making the glass hold when it is struck closes one of the easiest routes in.

Laminated inner or both panes
A laminated inner pane is the usual security upgrade. On very exposed doors both panes can be laminated.
Consents and safety: England
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.
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.

Patio and bifold door security glass in Crowthorne: questions
Do you cover Sandhurst as well as Crowthorne?
Yes. As well as Crowthorne, we can arrange surveys in nearby Sandhurst, Yateley and Camberley. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can sliding doors be lifted out?
Older sliding doors without anti-lift blocks can be. We check for this at the survey and can fit blocks at the same visit.
Do you work on aluminium bifolds?
Yes, on aluminium, uPVC and timber doors, provided the frame can take the new unit thickness.
Will laminated glass make my bifolds harder to open?
Units are slightly heavier. We adjust hinges, rollers and carriages after fitting so the doors run smoothly.
