Shopfront security glass in Caterham: what will it cost?
Our guide range for shopfront security glass in Caterham is £595 to £2,995 plus VAT (£714 to £3,594 inc VAT) per pane, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.

- Large single panes and glazed entrance doors
- Anti-bandit P6B to P8B for high-value stock

Getting the right glass for your building
Clarity
Thick laminated glass can look green. Low-iron glass keeps colours in the window true.
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.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Shopfront security glass in Caterham: questions
Which areas near Caterham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Caterham and in nearby Coulsdon (4 miles), Purley (4 miles) and Redhill (5 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.
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.
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.
