Secondary Glazing Specialists in Kensington

Secondary Glazing Kensington: Listed Building Specialists

380+ installations completed in Kensington. Kensington's sweeping stucco terraces, red-brick mansion flats and garden squares represent some of London's finest Victorian and Edwardian architecture. We have spent decades working with Kensington homeowners, managing agents and conservation officers to install bespoke secondary glazing that meets the exacting standards of the Royal Borough — without compromising a single original feature.

Kensington Homes, Streets and Noise: What We See on Survey

Kensington's housing is dominated by the stucco-fronted Italianate terraces built in the mid-Victorian boom: Queen's Gate, Onslow Gardens, Pembridge Square and the garden squares of Notting Hill. These houses have tall sash windows on the first-floor piano nobile, often with working internal shutters and deep panelled reveals, which give room for a generous acoustic air gap. Older Georgian houses survive around Kensington Square and Edwardes Square, with smaller sashes and thinner reveals, while the red-brick mansion blocks of Kensington Court and Earl's Court have large bay windows that usually need three or four separate secondary units.

Noise is heaviest along the Cromwell Road and the A4 Talgarth Road, which carry traffic towards the M4 day and night, and on Kensington High Street and Holland Park Avenue, where buses run late. Flats near Earl's Court and West Brompton also hear the District line and the West London Line. For these frontages we specify acoustic laminate with the widest gap the reveal will take. Rear rooms facing communal gardens are usually far quieter, so standard 4mm or 6.4mm glass is normally enough there and keeps the cost down.

Most Kensington homes sit in one of the Royal Borough's conservation areas, and many are listed. Because secondary glazing is fitted inside and leaves the original sashes untouched, it is the approach the council's conservation officers generally prefer. Where a building is listed we supply drawings and a method statement for consent, and in leasehold mansion blocks we prepare the same pack for the managing agent before fitting.
