Triple glazing for period homes and conservation areas in Lancashire
Homes across Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley and Colne, can have period-style triple glazing measured, made to order and fitted.
Warmth for period homes without losing their character. 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.

Rules in England
In England, replacement windows must meet 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.
- 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
Questions
Will heritage-style frames look chunky with triple glass?
They can if the sections are too slim for a full triple unit. We will show you the frame sizes and, if needed, offer a slim high-performance unit instead.
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.
Do you help with planning applications?
We provide drawings, specifications and samples you can use in an application. The application is made by you or your agent.
Do you cover all of Lancashire?
We arrange surveys and fitting across Lancashire.
Do I need permission for period-style triple glazing in England?
In England, like-for-like replacements on a house are normally permitted development; flats need permission if the change alters their appearance, Article 4 areas may need permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
