Security secondary glazing in Bexhill-on-Sea: what will it cost?

Budget £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Bexhill-on-Sea, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Getting the right glass for your building

How it opens

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

Listed building consent

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

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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.

Security secondary glazing in Bexhill-on-Sea: questions

Do you cover Hastings as well as Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes. As well as Bexhill-on-Sea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hastings, Hailsham and Eastbourne. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Does secondary glazing reduce noise?

Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
