School safety glass in Woking

What is the price of safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Woking?

Our guide range for safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Woking 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

Safety film for glass that can stay
Toughened and laminated replacement glass
Work in holidays and outside hours
Manifestation markings on large clear panes
Fire-rated glass for fire doors and screens, using the glazing system named in the door's certification
Laminated glass for vision panels and corridors

This glazing suits:

Colleges and community halls
Primary and secondary schools
Nurseries and early-years settings
Offices with older internal glazing

Questions we will ask at the survey

Manifestation

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

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 England

England

Fire-rated glass is different

Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Safety glazing for schools and public buildings in Woking: questions

Do you cover Guildford as well as Woking?

Yes. As well as Woking, we can arrange surveys in nearby Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames. Dates depend on installer availability.

Is wired glass safety glass?

Not usually. Ordinary wired glass is not a safety glass and can break into sharp pieces in impact positions. Some wired glass is used for fire resistance, which is a different job.

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.

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.
