Secondary glazing for Islington homes

Homes in Islington are mostly Georgian terraces, Victorian houses, mansion blocks and council estates. 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.

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.

We make sash windows to match original designs, and supply secondary glazing for listed homes where replacements are not allowed. Parking is limited and heavily controlled, so we arrange permits and access in advance. Islington is about 5.6 miles from our Edmonton factory, close enough for quick aftercare visits.

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 Islington

Do I need planning permission for secondary glazing in Islington?

Islington Council has many conservation areas, including Barnsbury and Canonbury, and lots of listed buildings, so we check your property's status before suggesting a design. 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 Islington?

Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.6 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.

Is secondary glazing allowed in listed buildings in Islington?

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 5.6 miles from Islington. We can also bring samples to your home in Islington at the free survey.
