Secondary glazing for Highbury homes
Homes in Highbury are mostly Victorian villas, terraces, mansion blocks and converted flats. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.
On listed buildings, secondary glazing is often the preferred way to improve comfort, but check with the conservation officer as listed building consent may still be needed. 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.
Flats need the freeholder's consent, and parking on Highbury's controlled streets takes some planning, so we arrange a bay suspension or permit where needed. Our Edmonton workshop is about 4.6 miles away.
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.
- Reduces draughts and outside noise
- Suitable where replacement is restricted
- Panels open or lift out for cleaning
Questions from Highbury
Do I need planning permission for secondary glazing in Highbury?
Islington Council has conservation areas around Highbury Fields and Highbury New Park, where front windows normally need to match the original design, so we check with the council 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 Highbury?
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.
Is secondary glazing allowed in listed buildings in Highbury?
Secondary glazing is generally seen as less intrusive than replacing original windows, because it sits inside and is reversible. However, listed building consent may still be required, so speak to the council's conservation officer before work starts. We can provide product details to support your application.
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 Highbury. We can also bring samples to your home in Highbury at the free survey.
