What is the price of security double-glazed units in Southall?
Our guide range for security double-glazed units in Southall is £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
A security double-glazed unit is a sealed unit in which one or both panes are laminated glass, usually the inner pane, so the window keeps its insulation but resists being broken through. It fits the same frame as a standard unit and is the simplest way to add security to modern windows and doors.
Choices you can make
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
- Security glazing tape or clips where beads are external
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white

Questions we will ask at the survey
Internal or external beads
If your beads are on the outside, we add security tape or clips so the unit cannot be lifted out after the beads are removed.
Which pane is laminated
Laminating the inner pane is the usual security choice. Laminating both panes adds protection on high-risk elevations.
Building regulations and safety in England
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.
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 double-glazed units in Southall: questions
Which areas near Southall do you cover?
We can arrange work in Southall and in nearby Greenford (2 miles), Heston (2 miles) and Hayes (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can I just replace the glass and keep my frames?
Yes, if the frames are sound. We measure each unit, make security units to the same size and fit them into your existing frames.
Will a laminated unit be heavier?
A little. A laminated pane weighs about the same as a solid sheet of the same thickness. On large opening sashes we check hinges and friction stays.
Do security units reduce noise?
Laminated glass already damps sound better than plain glass, and acoustic interlayers improve it further, which helps on busy roads.
