Secondary glazing quotes across Bath
Secondary glazing is often the only glazing upgrade Bath and North East Somerset Council’s conservation officer will approve inside the UNESCO World Heritage core. It delivers thermal and acoustic improvement without altering the original Georgian sash, which is exactly what Historic England guidance calls for on Listed Buildings. Legacy Windows is a comparison service that puts your job in front of vetted BA1 and BA2 specialists.

Frequently asked questions
Will BANES accept secondary glazing on a Grade I Georgian townhouse? Almost always yes. Historic England guidance treats secondary glazing as fully reversible, which makes it the preferred glazing upgrade on Listed Buildings — including Grade I frontages within the WHS core. Listed Building Consent is still needed but generally granted for well-designed slimline systems.
How much noise reduction can I expect near the A36 or A4? A properly specified secondary unit with a 100–150mm cavity and laminated acoustic glass typically reduces perceived noise by 35–45 dB Rw.
Does secondary glazing meet Part L? It is not a replacement thermal element on its own, so Part L does not directly apply. Combined U-values below 1.8 W/m²K are readily achievable and often below 1.4.

Dominant era of housing stock: Georgian (18th century) dominant.
Heritage note: The centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site - any street-facing window change on a Georgian frontage almost certainly requires Listed Building Consent.
