Secondary Glazing for Churches in Worksop
Historic churches carry the country's most fragile and most valuable stained glass — and the highest heat losses of any building class. The most common question we get is: "Will it damage the stained glass?" — the short answer is on this page, alongside the technical detail. Across Worksop (S80, S81) our churches projects usually run phased installs, chapel by chapel, over a single funding cycle. The nearest motorway access is M1 J30 / A1 J34, so mobilisation from our Nottinghamshire base is straightforward.

Slim satin profiles finish invisibly behind stained-glass tracery.
Compliance and paperwork

Common questions
Will the install harm the original sashes?
No — the secondary system fits into the reveal, not into the sash box. The original window operates exactly as before.
Do you match the frame colour to my existing joinery?
Yes — powder-coated aluminium is available in white, black, grey, satin anodised or any of 200+ RAL colours, colour-matched on request.
Is listed-building consent needed?
In many cases no, because no historic fabric is altered. Where it is needed we supply drawings and specifications with your quote at no cost.
How does this compare to replacement double glazing?
A modern secondary unit with Low-E glass and a 100 mm cavity outperforms most existing sealed double-glazed units — and it works on windows you legally can't replace.
What if I've got Article 4 restrictions?
Article 4 applies to changes visible from the highway — a room-side install isn't visible from outside so it's usually unaffected.
