Secondary glazing for Coventry’s listed and ring-road homes
Coventry’s inner ring road, the A45 corridor and the surviving prewar streets around Spon End and Earlsdon give the city a steady demand for secondary glazing. It is the option Coventry City Council conservation officers usually accept on listed weavers’ cottages and Grade II frontages where a full replacement would be refused, and Legacy Windows matches you with three specialists who quote a fixed price on the same brief.
Why locals in Coventry choose Legacy Windows
- Typical 2026 pricing runs from around £320 for a small horizontal slider to £865 for a full-height vertical unit calibrated to Coventry trade rates.
- Slim aluminium frames install inside the original reveal, meaning no visible change from the street and, in most cases, no Listed Building Consent required.
- Acoustic laminated glass options cut ring-road traffic noise by up to 45 dB, tested to BS EN ISO 10140.
- Thermal performance on a retained single-glazed sash improves from around 4.8 to 1.8 W/m2K, meeting Part L for retained fabric.
- All matched fitters carry public liability insurance and a workmanship warranty of at least ten years.
Areas we cover around Coventry
Secondary glazing briefs are heaviest in CV1 across Spon End and the cathedral quarter, CV5 across Earlsdon and Chapelfields, and along the ring road corridor in CV1 and CV2. The Spon End weavers’ cottages generate a steady flow of consented briefs each year. Requests from Kenilworth, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Nuneaton reach the same Warwickshire specialists.
Frequently asked questions
Does secondary glazing suit the Grade II Spon End cottages? Yes. Coventry City Council conservation officers routinely favour secondary glazing on the Spon End listed stock because the original leaded lights stay in place. A Listed Building Consent application is still usually required but is generally straightforward.
How much noise reduction can I expect near the inner ring road? A 100 to 150 mm cavity with a 6 mm acoustic laminated inner pane typically cuts around 40 to 45 dB. It is the standard specification our panel quotes for CV1 addresses close to the ring road.
Does secondary glazing count towards Part L compliance? Yes. Adding secondary glazing to a retained single-glazed frame pulls the assembly Uw down to around 1.8 W/m2K, which meets Part L 2022 requirements for retained fabric on listed and conservation stock.
Windows and doors in Coventry - local context
The city centre was largely rebuilt in the 1950s after WWII bombing, giving Coventry an unusual mix of postwar modernist blocks alongside surviving Victorian terraces in Earlsdon and interwar semis in Chapelfields.
Dominant era of housing stock: Postwar rebuild in the centre, interwar and Victorian in the suburbs.
Heritage note: Around 20 conservation areas, mostly around surviving prewar suburbs.
