Secondary glazing in Homerton

The housing in Homerton is largely Victorian terraces, council estates, newer blocks and converted warehouses. Behind Victorian sash windows, vertical sliding secondary glazing aligned with the meeting rail keeps the view uninterrupted and lets both windows open for ventilation.

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. 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 Victorian houses, we suggest sash windows or flush casements; for flats and estates, we coordinate with the freeholder or housing association first. Some streets near Sutton House are in conservation areas, and Hackney Council checks window designs closely. We are about 4 miles from Homerton.

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
• Suitable where replacement is restricted
• Panels open or lift out for cleaning
