Double glazing in Stoke Newington

Around Stoke Newington you will mostly find Georgian terraces, large Victorian houses, mansion blocks and converted flats. 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.

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.

Hackney Council has several conservation areas here, including around Stoke Newington Church Street, and planning officers pay close attention to front elevations. We check the rules before quoting, and suggest secondary glazing for listed homes. The A10 high street is noisy too, so acoustic glass is worth adding. We are about 3.5 miles away.

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
• Less condensation on the glass
• Quieter rooms than single glazing
