Triple glazing for period homes and conservation areas in Magherafelt
If you live in Magherafelt (BT45) and want period-style triple glazing, start with a free survey: every opening measured, then a written quote that fixes the price.
Heritage-style frames and plain advice on consents. In a conservation area, replacing windows on a house is often permitted development if the new windows look similar to the old ones, but councils can remove those rights with an Article 4 direction.
Winter light and glass choice in Magherafelt
By midsummer Magherafelt has about 17 h 19 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 13 min, with the noon sun at about 12°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for period homes and conservation areas in Northern Ireland
The rules for replacement windows in Northern Ireland are set by Technical Booklet F1 (2022): 1.6 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band C or better. Replacing windows or external doors does not need full plans or a building notice, but the work must still comply; enlarging an opening or other structural change needs building control approval.
Before ordering: Check with your council planning office before changing the style, material or size of windows or doors, and always for listed buildings, conservation areas and flats.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
