Working in St Albans

St Albans' Roman, medieval and Georgian heritage in AL1-AL4 means conservation-led glazing dominates our local work. Listed-building consents for properties around the cathedral, heritage timber sash restoration, and slim-profile heritage double glazing across the conservation areas keep our heritage team busy.

For heritage and listed-property work in St Albans, planning constraints frequently dictate the spec — we work within Hertfordshire council's conservation area rules and listed-building consent requirements, using putty-glazed timber sashes, slim-sightline secondary glazing systems that sit invisibly behind original primary glazing, and steel-window restoration for Crittall-style frames. Most commonly we're working across AL1 and AL4 postcodes. We prepare the heritage statement and Building Regulations submission alongside our quote where it's needed for East conservation areas.

FAQs

Common questions

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.
