What should security secondary glazing cost in Monmouth?
Guide prices for security secondary glazing in Monmouth 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.
Glass and fitting options
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched

Escape and ventilation
On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
Glazing rules in Wales
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.
Planning permission
In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.

Security secondary glazing in Monmouth: questions
Can you survey in Monmouth and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Monmouth, Chepstow and Abergavenny are booked around 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.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
