Secondary Glazing in Hillsborough, Sheffield
Hillsborough sits in the S6 postcode, roughly 4 miles from central Sheffield, and is best known for tram-corridor terraces close to the football ground. Our surveyors are on Hillsborough streets most weeks — matchday and tram noise on Middlewood Road is the reason most homeowners here call.

Services we install in Hillsborough
Common questions
Is there a warranty?
Yes — 10 years on the manufacture and installation, and a manufacturer's warranty on the glass units.
Can I still open the original window?
Yes — every sliding, hinged and lift-out unit is designed to move clear so you can operate the primary window behind it.
Can Low-E glass be combined with acoustic laminated?
Yes — most heavy specifications combine both, so you get acoustic gain and thermal gain in the same install.
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.
Does it help with train and tram rumble?
It's very effective — the low-frequency energy is absorbed by the air-gap decoupling. A mismatched pane thickness widens the acoustic dip that train rumble usually punches through.
