Your local specialist in Richmond upon Thames
The borough of Richmond upon Thames is one of London's greenest and most sought-after, wrapping around the Thames from Barnes and Kew to Richmond Hill and Hampton. Its housing ranges from riverside Georgian townhouses and Richmond Green's historic frontages to the substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas that line its leafy avenues.
Two things unite the borough: extensive conservation-area protection, and its position beneath the main Heathrow approach. Secondary glazing answers both — it preserves the historic windows conservation officers want protected, while its wide cavity and acoustic glass are exceptionally effective against aircraft noise.
For unrestricted homes we also fit heritage timber-look windows, bi-fold and French doors onto those prized gardens, and orangeries that make the most of the borough's green outlook.

Richmond architecture
Matched to how Richmond was built
We tailor every installation to the period homes that define Richmond upon Thames.
Riverside Georgian houses
Richmond Hill and the riverside carry fine Georgian sashes. Bespoke vertical sliding units retain the delicate glazing bars while quietening the road and river frontage.
Victorian & Edwardian villas
The borough's leafy avenues are lined with bay-fronted family homes; angled bay secondary glazing restores warmth without altering the timber or leaded lights.
Homes under the flight path
Properties across Kew, Barnes and Richmond benefit from a wide-cavity acoustic system specifically tuned to the frequencies of aircraft on the Heathrow approach.
Conservation & listed homes
Upgrades that respect Richmond's planning rules
Richmond upon Thames has more than 70 conservation areas and numerous listed buildings, particularly around Richmond Green, the riverside and Kew. Secondary glazing's reversible design means it usually needs no planning permission and is favoured by the borough's conservation team.
