How much should I budget for safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Blackpool?

As a guide, allow £95 to £345 plus VAT (£114 to £414 inc VAT) per pane for safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Blackpool, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free survey.

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 to think about first

Prioritising

Start with doors, side panels and low-level glass in busy areas, then work outwards. The schedule makes it easy to phase.

Manifestation

Large clear panes need markings at eye level so people do not walk into them.

Consents and safety: 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.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Blackpool: questions

Do you cover Thornton-Cleveleys as well as Blackpool?

Yes. As well as Blackpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood. 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.

What are critical locations?

Glazing in and beside doors up to 1,500 mm from the floor and other glazing below 800 mm, in the English guidance. Similar rules apply in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

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.
