Secondary glazing in Ladbroke Grove

The housing in Ladbroke Grove is largely stucco terraces, Victorian houses, council 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.

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.

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.

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.
