What is the price of safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Forfar?
Our guide range for safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Forfar is £95 to £345 plus VAT (£114 to £414 inc VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
Safety glazing for schools and public buildings means finding glass in critical locations, such as doors, side panels and low-level panes, that would break dangerously, and replacing it with toughened or laminated safety glass or protecting it with safety film. It helps duty holders meet workplace and building safety rules where children, staff and visitors move around.
What you can specify
- Work in holidays and outside hours
- Fire-rated glass for fire doors and screens, using the glazing system named in the door's certification
- Toughened and laminated replacement glass
- Laminated glass for vision panels and corridors
- Manifestation markings on large clear panes
- Safety film for glass that can stay

Questions we will ask at the survey
Fire-rated panes
Glass in fire doors and screens must stay fire-rated. We use the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door or screen's certification or test evidence, never plain laminated glass, and some doors need a certificated fire-door installer.
Prioritising
Start with doors, side panels and low-level glass in busy areas, then work outwards. The schedule makes it easy to phase.
Building regulations and safety in Scotland
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the council for works affecting their character, which can include historic glass, glazing bars and sash windows. Historic Environment Scotland is consulted on some cases and publishes guidance on traditional windows. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of shopfronts and external changes.
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors and fire screens must be fire-rated glass tested within that system, under section 2 of the Building Standards technical handbooks and the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 for non-domestic premises. Security and laminated glass are not fire-rated unless the product is tested for it.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Forfar: questions
Do you cover Dundee as well as Forfar?
Yes. As well as Forfar, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dundee, Arbroath and Montrose. Dates depend on installer availability.
Do we have to replace all the old glass?
Not necessarily. The duty is to make glass safe where needed. That may mean replacement, film or guarding, depending on the pane and the risk.
Can you replace glass in fire doors?
Often, yes, using the fire-rated glass and glazing system named in the door's certification or test evidence; some doors need a certificated fire-door installer, which we check first. Fire door glass must never be replaced with ordinary safety or security glass.
Can you work during school holidays?
Yes. Most school glazing work is planned for holidays, weekends or after hours.
