Double glazing in Earl’s Court

The housing in Earl’s Court is largely Victorian terraces converted to flats, mansion blocks and mews. Many Victorian terraces still have single-glazed sashes, and moving to double glazing is often the biggest single comfort upgrade, whether through new windows or secondary glazing.

If your flat's frames are in good order, replacing only failed or misted double glazed units may avoid the need for freeholder approval for new windows. In conservation areas, slim double glazed units can sometimes be fitted into traditional-style frames, but check with the council first, as listed buildings usually need consent.

Getting consent is usually the first job. The freeholder and the Royal Borough both have a say, and much of the area sits within conservation areas. We prepare drawings that make those conversations easier. Rooms facing Cromwell Road or Earls Court Road gain a lot from acoustic glazing, and we arrange parking and access with the building before fitting day.

Double glazing uses two panes of glass with a sealed, insulating gap between them, cutting heat loss, draughts and condensation compared with single glazing. We fit it in new windows and doors or as replacement sealed units, suiting almost every home, from older properties still single glazed to houses with failed units.

• Warmer rooms and lower heat loss
• Less condensation on the glass
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
