- High-street shops and boutiques
- Pharmacies and opticians
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
What to think about first
Trading hours
Large panes take time to swap. We plan the work to keep the shop open and secure, with boarding if a pane cannot be replaced the same visit.
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
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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Shopfront security glass in Canary Wharf: questions
Which areas near Canary Wharf do you cover?
We can arrange work in Canary Wharf and in nearby Bow (1 mile), Canning Town (2 miles) and Greenwich (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Will security glass stop a ram raid?
No glass will stop a vehicle. Laminated glass and strong frames delay entry after impact. Stopping vehicles needs bollards or barriers, which we cover under anti-ram-raid glazing.
