Secondary glazing for Hackney Wick homes

Around Hackney Wick you will mostly find converted warehouses, canalside apartments and new-build flats. In modern homes with sound double glazing, secondary glazing is mainly worthwhile for noise, particularly in bedrooms facing main roads, railways or flight paths.

For flats where the lease or freeholder prevents changing external windows, secondary glazing fitted inside is usually the simplest way to reduce traffic noise and heat loss. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

Nearly every home here is a flat, so the first step is approval from the freeholder or managing agent, and we prepare the technical details they ask for. Tight canalside access is planned at the survey. The Wick is about 4.6 miles from our Edmonton factory.

Secondary glazing is a discreet second window fitted on the inside of your existing windows, leaving the originals untouched. It suits listed buildings, conservation areas, flats where external windows cannot be changed, and anyone wanting to cut noise and draughts without replacing period windows.

  • Keeps original windows in place
  • Reduces draughts and outside noise
  • Suitable where replacement is restricted

Questions from Hackney Wick

Do I need planning permission for secondary glazing in Hackney Wick?

Planning powers here passed from the London Legacy Development Corporation back to the boroughs in December 2024, and parts of the Wick are in conservation areas, so we confirm the current position before quoting. Secondary glazing is fitted internally, so it does not usually need planning permission or Building Regulations approval, but listed buildings may need listed building consent first.

How soon can you fit secondary glazing in Hackney Wick?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 4.6 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

Can I still open my windows with secondary glazing fitted?

Yes. Secondary glazing can be made as sliding, hinged or lift-out panels, so you can open both the secondary unit and the original window for ventilation and cleaning. Fixed panels are also possible for windows you never need to open.

Can I see samples before I decide?

Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 4.6 miles from Hackney Wick. We can also bring samples to your home in Hackney Wick at the free survey.
