Secondary glazing for Derby’s listed and city-centre homes
Derby’s Little Chester conservation area and the historic core carry a concentration of listed sash and casement windows where UPVC replacement is off the table. Secondary glazing fits inside the original reveal, keeps the frontage untouched, and rarely needs Listed Building Consent — a useful advantage on Grade II properties where thermal upgrades are otherwise limited.
Why locals in Derby choose Legacy Windows
- Typical quotes fall between £310 and £840 per window, depending on frame and glass thickness.
- Slimline aluminium and timber-look frames sit discreetly behind original sashes or casements.
- Acoustic glass options cut street noise by up to 45 dB — useful near the inner ring road.
- Hinged or lift-out panels allow the original window to open in summer.
- No structural work, no external changes — usually consent-free even on Grade II listed homes.

Frequently asked questions
Does secondary glazing need Listed Building Consent in Derby? Usually no, because it is a reversible internal alteration that does not affect the historic fabric. Derby City Council conservation officers occasionally require consent on Grade I or Grade II* properties, so a check before ordering is sensible.
How much heat loss does secondary glazing save? A well-fitted secondary panel typically halves the U-value on a single-glazed sash, from around 5.4 to 2.5 W/m²K. It also cuts draughts, which usually matters more day-to-day than the U-value figure alone.
Will it eliminate condensation on my original sashes? Condensation often shifts to the outer pane once secondary is fitted, because the room-side air no longer meets a cold single-glazed surface. Trickle ventilation on the outer sash keeps the cavity dry.
