Heritage & Listed in Sheffield
Homes in Sheffield sit within reach of M1 J33 and the Ring Road (A61) corridor, and both are noticeable inside a period house. Our heritage & listed-building secondary glazing spec is built around that: fully reversible install — no alteration to historic fabric, room-side install, original window untouched.

How our heritage & listed works in Sheffield
Historic England and most local conservation officers recommend room-side secondary glazing over replacement double glazing on protected properties — it's the only upgrade that's fully reversible.
In many cases listed-building consent isn't required because no historic fabric is touched — where it is, we supply drawings and specifications at no cost for your application.
Slim-line profiles (Vision HD, satin anodised finishes and colour-matched RAL) sit unobtrusively behind original sashes, invisible from the street.
Every unit is templated to the existing reveal so no packing, plastering or joinery alteration is needed; the whole system can be removed in an afternoon if the building's status ever changes.
Best-fit windows in S1–S17
Grade I / II listed sashes — common across Sheffield's victorian and edwardian terraces on the west side.
Leaded and stained-glass lights — common across Sheffield's victorian and edwardian terraces on the west side.
Steel Crittall Grade II casements — common across Sheffield's victorian and edwardian terraces on the west side.
Georgian small-pane sashes — common across Sheffield's victorian and edwardian terraces on the west side.
"Will the conservation officer accept it?"
In our experience, they usually prefer it — because it's the only window upgrade that leaves the original completely intact.

Common questions
Will the frame be visible from outside?
No — the entire system sits room-side of the original window. From the pavement your frontage looks unchanged.
What's the impact on natural light?
Minimal — the second pane is optically clear and slim-line frames sit within the original reveal so no daylight is lost.
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.
