Listed Buildings (Grade I, II*, and II) have legal protections preventing unauthorised alteration to their historic fabric — including windows, doors, and glazing. Any change requires Listed Building Consent from your local planning authority, with specifications meeting Historic England guidance.

Our process

From survey to installation in 4 steps

01

Pre-application consultation

We visit the property, photograph each window, and produce a heritage condition assessment. We then arrange a pre-application meeting with your local conservation officer to confirm acceptable specifications.

02

Listed Building Consent application

We prepare drawings, photographs, and a heritage justification statement. Application typically takes 8-12 weeks for determination.

03

Heritage manufacture

Approved specifications manufactured at our specialist heritage workshop. Lead time 10-14 weeks for full Listed Building installations.

04

Sympathetic installation

Installation works elevation by elevation with full retention of original architraves, reveals, ironmongery, and surrounding fabric.

FAQs

Listed Building Glazing questions, answered

Yes — any alteration to a Listed Building (Grade I, II*, or II) requires Listed Building Consent. Replacing windows without consent is a criminal offence under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
Sometimes — slim-profile double glazing (under 12mm overall sealed unit) is now accepted by many conservation officers on Grade II listed buildings. Grade I and II* listings usually require single glazing or specialist crown/cylinder glass. We confirm scope at pre-application stage.
Typical determination period: 8 weeks. Complex applications or those requiring Historic England referral: 12-16 weeks.
Significantly more than standard windows due to bespoke manufacture and consent process. Typical per-window costs: Grade II £1,200-£2,800, Grade II* £1,800-£4,000, Grade I £2,500-£6,000+.
No — consent is at the discretion of the local planning authority. However our pre-application consultation process means we only proceed when conservation officers have indicated likely support. Refusal rate on our applications is under 5%.
