Double glazing in Ladbroke Grove

The housing in Ladbroke Grove is largely stucco terraces, Victorian houses, council blocks and converted flats. 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.

The Ladbroke conservation area covers much of the south, so Kensington & Chelsea Council expects sympathetic sash windows; we check before quoting. Homes near the Westway or the Hammersmith & City line benefit from acoustic glass. We are about 9.7 miles away and plan parking carefully.

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
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
• Toughened and laminated safety glass options
