How much should I budget for security double-glazed units in Epsom?
Guide prices for security double-glazed units in Epsom are £174 to £594 including VAT (£145 to £495 plus VAT) per unit for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.
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.
What you can specify
- Warm-edge spacer bars in black, grey or white
- Made to measure for each sash, light and door panel
- Laminated inner pane, outer pane or both
- Obscure and decorative glass for bathrooms and doors
- 24 mm, 28 mm and other overall thicknesses to suit frames
- Toughened outer pane where safety glass is required
Fitting in Epsom and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Epsom and across the KT17 postcode district, as well as in nearby Ewell (2 miles) and Banstead (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Surrey's commuter towns such as Guildford, Woking and Epsom mix Victorian and inter-war houses with modern glazed offices, while Farnham and Godalming have extensive conservation areas.
Common uses:
- Patio doors and bifolds
- Ground-floor and basement windows
- Glazed back and side doors
- Windows in flats on walkways and balconies
What to think about first
Which pane is laminated
Laminating the inner pane is the usual security choice. Laminating both panes adds protection on high-risk elevations.
Overall thickness
The new unit must suit the frame's glazing rebate. If your frames only take thin units, we use thinner laminates or adjust the beads.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Security double-glazed units in Epsom: questions
Do you cover Ewell as well as Epsom?
Yes. As well as Epsom, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ewell, Banstead and Sutton. 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.
How long do new units take?
Units are made to order after the survey. Lead times vary with glass type and size, and we confirm them when we quote.
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.
