Security secondary glazing in Hull

What should security secondary glazing cost in Hull?

Guide prices for security secondary glazing in Hull are £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before any glass is ordered.

Security secondary glazing is a separate slim window fitted on the room side of an existing window, glazed with laminated glass so it forms a second barrier. It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

Fitting in Hull and nearby

We can arrange security secondary glazing across Hull, the main centre for East Riding of Yorkshire, and in nearby towns including Beverley, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.

The East Riding takes in Hull's Victorian and inter-war housing and city-centre shops, Georgian frontages in Beverley, and seaside towns such as Bridlington exposed to North Sea weather.

Good candidates for security secondary glazing:

Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
Offices in historic buildings

Before the glass is ordered

Listed building consent

Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.

How it opens

Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.

Glazing rules in England

England

Windows needed for escape

Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

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 secondary glazing in Hull: questions

Which areas near Hull do you cover?

We can arrange work in Hull and in nearby Beverley (8 miles), Grimsby (16 miles) and Scunthorpe (17 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Will secondary glazing cause condensation?

A well-fitted unit usually reduces condensation on the inner pane. Some ventilation of the gap may be needed, which we discuss at the survey.

Is secondary glazing safe for escape windows?

It can be, as long as it opens quickly from inside without a key. We design catches and handles for that.

Can I still open my sash windows?

Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
