We’re proud to help preserve the finest examples of our architectural heritage. This is matched by our passion for future-proofing their sustainability through secondary glazing.
Fully reversible, sympathetically fitted secondary glazing keeps properties unchanged on the outside – and warmer, quieter and more secure on the inside.
Centuries of history, decades of experience
Why Selectaglaze? We’ve been providing secondary glazing for heritage and listed buildings since 1966, offering a comprehensive service from initial consultation to immaculate installation.
Unlike many other firms, we carry everything out in-house. Surveys. Designs. Frame and glazing manufacturing. Installation. The lot.
Recommended by Heritage England and others, we offer:
- Tailored technical advice, surveys and product designs
- Nearly 60 years’ experience with historical, listed and period properties
- In-depth understanding and appreciation of the principles of sensitive retrofit
- The widest selection of frame styles for windows of all shapes and sizes
- Bespoke joinery sub-frames for discreet interfaces with surrounding structure
- Finishes of almost any colour to closely match the existing décor
- In-house fitting teams for seamless installation
Listed Building Consent assistance
If you need LBC (or you’re not sure whether or not you do) we can help.
As an extra paid service, we can even prepare your consent application for you, although we can’t guarantee that an LBC will be given.
Our service includes:
- An application on your behalf through the local authority’s planning portal
- CAD drawings of window openings from our in-house design team
- A full site survey to gather evidence and photographs of window types
- An accompanying detailed ‘Design and Access Statement with Heritage’
