What should security secondary glazing cost in Diss?
As a guide, allow £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Diss, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.
Glass and fitting options
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched

Norfolk centres on Norwich's medieval lanes and listed shopfronts, with flint-built market towns, Georgian King's Lynn and seaside Great Yarmouth and Cromer facing the North Sea.
Good candidates for security secondary glazing:
- Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
- Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
- Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
- Period sash windows with original glass
Before the glass is ordered
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Frame colour and sightlines
Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.
Glazing rules in 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.
Planning permission
Changing the glass in an existing window or shopfront does not usually need planning permission, because the building looks much the same afterwards. A new or altered shopfront, or security features added to the outside of a building, may need planning permission from the council. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need the highway authority's consent, which is normally the council.

Security secondary glazing in Diss: questions
Can you survey in Diss and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Diss, Wymondham and Stowmarket 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.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
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.
