Budget £594 to £1,794 including VAT (£495 to £1,495 plus VAT) per window for security secondary glazing in Ashton-under-Lyne, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
Security secondary glazing is a separate slim window fitted on the room side of an existing window, glazed with laminated glass so it forms a second barrier. It leaves the original window untouched outside, which makes it a common choice for listed buildings, conservation areas and period sash windows.

What to think about first
Listed building consent
Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.
How it opens
Match the opening style to the original window so both can be opened, cleaned and used for ventilation.
Consents and safety: England
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Replacing only the glass or sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair in England rather than notifiable building work. Replacing a whole window or door is notifiable and is normally certified through a competent person scheme or approved by building control. Either way, new glass in a critical location should still be safety glass.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Security secondary glazing in Ashton-under-Lyne: questions
Which areas near Ashton-under-Lyne do you cover?
We can arrange work in Ashton-under-Lyne and in nearby Dukinfield (1 mile), Stalybridge (2 miles) and Droylsden (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will secondary glazing cause condensation?
A well-fitted unit usually reduces condensation on the inner pane. Some ventilation of the gap may be needed, which we discuss at the survey.
Do I need permission for secondary glazing in a listed building?
It depends on the building and the council. Internal secondary glazing usually has less impact than replacement windows, but listed building consent may still be needed. Ask the conservation officer before ordering.
Can I still open my sash windows?
Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.
