What should security secondary glazing cost in Egham?
Budget £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Egham, 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.
What you can specify
- Suits sash, casement and arched openings
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room
- Noise and draught reduction

Good candidates for security secondary glazing:
- Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
- Ground-floor flats in converted townhouses
- Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
- Period sash windows with original glass
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.
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
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.
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 Egham: questions
Do you cover Staines-upon-Thames as well as Egham?
Yes. As well as Egham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Staines-upon-Thames, Ashford and Windsor. Dates depend on installer availability.
Does secondary glazing reduce noise?
Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
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.
