Things to decide before you order
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.
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Shopfront security glass in Blackburn: questions
Which areas near Blackburn do you cover?
We can arrange work in Blackburn and in nearby Darwen (4 miles), Accrington (5 miles) and Chorley (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can you fit the glass without closing the shop?
Usually. We plan early or after-closing slots where an installer is available, and keep the opening secure during the work.
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.
