Working in Richmond

Richmond's Georgian and Victorian heritage combined with Heathrow flight-path noise creates unique glazing challenges — listed-building consent often rules out replacement windows, making our slimline secondary glazing the ideal solution. We've completed hundreds of installations across TW9, TW10 and surrounding conservation areas.

For acoustic glazing in Richmond, aircraft noise from Heathrow Airport (LHR) shapes the brief — overhead noise here peaks above 85 dB during arrivals. Our acoustic specifications start at Rw 38 dB reduction for standard double-glazed acoustic units and scale to Rw 52 dB for triple-glazed asymmetric builds with laminated PVB interlayers. Most commonly we're working across TW9 and TW10 postcodes. We can normally survey within a week and return a proposal showing measured baseline noise alongside the projected indoor level after install.

Our process

How we deliver in Richmond

01

Heritage-sensitive survey

We measure existing reveal depths and assess the primary window's condition. Our surveys are accepted by listed-building officers and planning departments.

02

Bespoke manufacture

Each unit is made to fit your exact reveal — slim aluminium frames in white, brown, black or RAL-matched colours. Glass options include acoustic laminated and Low-E thermal.

03

Discreet installation

Installed entirely from inside the property with no disruption to the original window. Most installations are completed in a single day.
