Secondary Glazing for Care Homes in Doncaster
Care-home residents spend disproportionately long periods within a few metres of their bedroom window — cold surfaces, condensation and noise all show up in CQC feedback. We handle the CQC environmental standards, Part L thermal, Part K safety glazing compliance side in-house so your project team doesn't have to. Across Doncaster (DN1, DN2, DN3) our care homes projects usually run phased room-by-room installs over 4–8 weeks. The nearest motorway access is M18 J3 / A1(M) J36, so mobilisation from our South Yorkshire base is straightforward.

Common questions
How long does an install take?
A typical whole-house residential install is a single day; larger commercial jobs are phased so trading isn't interrupted.
Is there a warranty?
Yes — 10 years on the manufacture and installation, and a manufacturer's warranty on the glass units.
Will it help with condensation on my sash windows?
Almost always — the room-side pane raises the surface temperature of the glass you touch, which stops warm interior air condensing.
What U-value can secondary glazing achieve?
As low as 1.868 W/m²K with Low-E soft-coat glass and a 100 mm cavity — comfortably meeting current retrofit building-regs targets.
How is the quote calculated?
We survey and template every opening on site, then quote in writing per opening — no per-square-metre pricing that hides oversize charges.
