Landlord Alert

Is Your Rental Property 2028 Ready?

New regulations require all rental properties to achieve a minimum EPC Band C by 2028. Non-compliance could mean fines of up to £30,000.

The New EPC 'C' Standard for London Landlords

From 2028, all new tenancies in England and Wales must have an EPC rating of Band C or above. Existing tenancies will follow by 2030. For period properties with single-glazed sash windows, this is a significant challenge.

Secondary glazing is one of the most effective EPC improvements for heritage properties because it reduces window U-values from 5.0 to 1.8 W/m²K -- a 64% reduction in heat loss without altering the external appearance.

Authority Guide

What Is Secondary Glazing?

Everything you need to know about secondary glazing -- from acoustic performance and planning permission to why professionals outperform DIY every time.

The Complete Guide to Secondary Glazing

Secondary glazing is a discreet, internal window system fitted behind your existing windows. Unlike replacement double glazing, it preserves your original windows entirely -- making it the preferred solution for listed buildings, conservation areas, and period properties across London.

A precision-engineered aluminium frame is fixed into your window reveal (not the original frame), holding high-performance glass at an optimal distance from the existing pane. This air cavity is what delivers the exceptional acoustic and thermal performance that secondary glazing is known for.

The key advantage over replacement windows is the air gap. Standard double glazing has a 12-16mm cavity. Secondary glazing creates a 100-150mm cavity -- up to ten times wider. This dramatically improves low-frequency sound absorption, which is why secondary glazing consistently outperforms double glazing for noise reduction.
