How much should I budget for shopfront security glass in Gloucestershire?

Budget £595 to £2,995 plus VAT (£714 to £3,594 inc VAT) per pane for shopfront security glass in Gloucestershire, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.

Shopfront security glass is laminated glass sized for shop windows, entrance doors and side screens, chosen to a BS EN 356 class that suits the stock and the risk. It keeps the display fully visible while making smash-and-grab attempts slow, noisy and much less likely to succeed.

What to think about first

Which class

Most shops do well with P2A to P4A. Jewellers and other high-value trades usually need P6B or above, often because their insurer says so.

Glass or frame first

If the frame is shallow or light, upgrading the glass alone moves the weak point to the frame. We price both so you can decide.

Consents and safety: England

England

Safety glass in critical locations

In England, section 5 of Approved Document K treats glazing in doors and in side panels within 300 mm of a door edge, from floor level up to 1,500 mm, and any other glazing below 800 mm, as a critical location. Glass there should break safely, be robust, or be guarded. Laminated or toughened glass meeting BS EN 12600 class 3 is the usual answer, rising to class 2 for door and side-panel panes wider than 900 mm.

Glazing in workplaces

Regulation 14 of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 requires windows and transparent surfaces in walls, partitions, doors and gates to be of safety material or protected against breakage where health or safety makes that necessary, and to be marked so people notice them. The employer or the person in control of the premises decides what is needed through their risk assessment.

Shopfront security glass in Gloucestershire: questions

Which towns in Gloucestershire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Gloucestershire, including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Mangotsfield and Yate, and in other towns across the area.

Is my shop window toughened or laminated?

Look for the safety mark in a corner of the pane, or ask us to check at the survey. Many older shopfronts are toughened, which breaks completely and leaves the window open.

Can my insurer specify the glass?

Yes. Some insurers name a class for certain stock. Send us the wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether the product meets their conditions.

Do I need planning permission to change shop glass?

Replacing glass in an existing shopfront does not normally need planning permission. Changing the shopfront design, adding external shutters or altering a listed building usually does.
