Getting the right glass for your building

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.

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.

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent from the local planning authority for works that affect their character, which can include replacing historic glass, glazing bars or sashes. Cadw advises on the historic environment in Wales. Reversible options such as secondary glazing are often easier to agree, but the council decides.

Planning permission

In Wales the local planning authority decides whether a new or altered shopfront needs planning permission. Replacing glass in an existing frame usually does not, because the outside of the building looks much the same. Bollards or barriers on the pavement need consent from the highway authority, normally the council.

Shopfront security glass in Barry: questions

Can you survey in Barry and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Barry, Penarth and Cardiff are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
