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.

Choices you can make

Suits sash, casement and arched openings
Fixed within the reveal, leaving the original window untouched
Vertical sliding, horizontal sliding, hinged and lift-out styles
Low-E glass for better insulation
Laminated glass in slim aluminium frames
Noise and draught reduction

Fitting in Oakham and nearby

We can arrange security secondary glazing across Oakham, the main centre for Rutland, and in nearby towns including Uppingham, Melton Mowbray and Stamford.

Rutland is small and rural, with the stone-built centres of Oakham and Uppingham, both covered by conservation areas, and limestone villages around Rutland Water.

Common uses:

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

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.

Frame colour and sightlines

Slim frames that line up with the existing meeting rails make the secondary glazing almost invisible from outside.

Consents and safety: England

England

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.

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.

Security secondary glazing in Oakham: questions

Which areas near Oakham do you cover?

We can arrange work in Oakham and in nearby Uppingham (6 miles), Melton Mowbray (9 miles) and Stamford (10 miles). 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.

Can I still open my sash windows?

Yes. Secondary glazing slides, hinges or lifts out so the original window can be opened and cleaned.

Is secondary glazing safe for escape windows?

It can be, as long as it opens quickly from inside without a key. We design catches and handles for that.
