Triple glazing for period homes and conservation areas in Totton
Period-style triple glazing for homes in Totton: measured on a free survey, made to order and fitted by installation teams working for us across Hampshire.
Flush casements and sashes that councils tend to accept. 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 Totton
By midsummer Totton has about 16 h 32 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 55 min, with the noon sun at about 16°. 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 England
The rules for replacement windows in England are set by Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments): 1.4 W/m²K, or a Window Energy Rating of band B or better. Replacement windows are a controlled fitting. A competent person scheme installer (such as FENSA or Certass) self-certifies the work and notifies the council within 30 days; otherwise a building control body approves it.
Before ordering: Replacing windows on a house is normally permitted development if the new ones look similar. New upper-floor windows in a side wall must be obscure glazed and fixed, or open only above 1.7 m. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, so a change that alters their appearance needs planning permission. An Article 4 direction in a conservation area may mean permission is needed, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
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.

Questions from Totton
Can I put triple glazing in a listed building?
Usually not as a replacement. Listed building consent is needed and is often refused for original windows. Secondary glazing is the common alternative.
Can I have triple glazing in a conservation area?
Often yes, if the new windows match the look of the old ones and there is no Article 4 direction. Check with your council first.
