What should security secondary glazing cost in Ossett?
Budget £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Ossett, 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
- Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
- Low-E glass for better insulation
- Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
- Noise and draught reduction
- Locks and catches that open from inside without a key
- Colour-matched frames to suit the room

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
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 Ossett: questions
Do you cover Dewsbury as well as Ossett?
Yes. As well as Ossett, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dewsbury, Batley and Wakefield. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
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.
