Double glazing in Willesden Green

The housing in Willesden Green is largely Victorian and Edwardian bay-fronted terraces, mansion flats and conversions. 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. Original 1930s leaded lights can be replicated within double glazed units, so you keep the decorative pattern while gaining modern insulation and quieter rooms.

The Mapesbury conservation area lies just to the east, so if your home is within it, Brent Council expects designs to respect the original look; we check before quoting. Homes close to the High Road or the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines can benefit from acoustic glass. We are about 8.8 miles from Willesden Green.

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
