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.

Fitting in Leominster and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Leominster and across the HR6 postcode district, as well as in nearby Ludlow (10 miles) and Hereford (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Herefordshire is largely rural, with Hereford's cathedral-city centre, black-and-white timber-framed villages, and market towns such as Leominster and Ledbury with historic centres.

This glazing suits:

Homes on busy roads wanting noise reduction
Listed homes and buildings in conservation areas
Offices in historic buildings
Period sash windows with original glass

Questions we will ask at the survey

Escape and ventilation

On windows used for escape, the secondary glazing must open quickly from inside without a key or tool.

Listed building consent

Internal secondary glazing is usually seen as reversible, but consent can still be needed. Check with the conservation officer first.

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.

Windows needed for escape

Approved Document B expects many habitable rooms in houses, particularly upstairs, to have an escape window with a clear opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. Changing the glass does not alter that, but locks, secondary glazing and film must not stop the window opening. Laminated glass is hard to break through, so escape always relies on the window opening.

Security secondary glazing in Leominster: questions

Do you cover Ludlow as well as Leominster?

Yes. As well as Leominster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Ludlow, Hereford and Loughton. Dates depend on installer availability.

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.

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.

Does secondary glazing reduce noise?

Yes, often noticeably, because of the air gap between the two panes. Laminated glass helps further.
