Glasgow Airport's Noise Insulation Scheme uses a more generous 60dB LAeq threshold (lower than UK Government's 63dB recommendation), which means more households benefit. Maximum grant is £5,000 inclusive of VAT per eligible property. Contours are updated annually using the previous summer's flight data.
S&K Glazing is not an officially appointed installer for the Glasgow Airport Noise Insulation Scheme — that scheme uses its own appointed installers. Our role is to help you in three ways: (1) free eligibility check — tell us your postcode and we'll confirm whether you fall inside the scheme boundary; (2) guidance on how to apply — we explain the application process, what documents you need, and what to expect; (3) private installation for work the scheme doesn't fund — properties outside the boundary, premium acoustic upgrades (Rw 48-52dB triple glazing) beyond the standard spec, non-habitable rooms the scheme excludes, and commercial premises. If you're eligible for funded works, we'll point you to the official route. If you're not — or you want better than the scheme provides — we're ready to quote.
Up to £5,000 inclusive of VAT per eligible property. If insulation works cost more, the excess is your responsibility.
Glasgow Airport chose to go further than the UK Government's 63dB LAeq recommendation. This expands the contour area and means more households qualify.
Annually - Glasgow recalculates the contours each year from previous summer flight data. Eligibility may change year-on-year.
Post-Feb 2023 properties are excluded. The assumption is that newer planning permissions already accounted for noise insulation.
The Glasgow Airport Consultative Committee forms an independent panel to verify applications. Refusals can be reviewed but the decision rests with the panel.
Free survey, fixed-price quotes, no pressure sales. Call us, message on WhatsApp, or fill in the form — we typically respond within an hour during working days.
