There are number of possible options to consider when looking at how to reduce heat loss through your windows:
1 Refurbish, re-glaze with double glazed units and add seals
2 Replace the sashes (the moving part of a window)
3 Replace the whole window
4 Secondary glazing
In most cases it will not be necessary to replace the box frame of a sash window, unless it is in really bad condition, so it is better to start looking at Options 1 and 2.
Retrofit Kentish Town cannot make recommendations. However, the following is a list of suppliers and specialist contractors that have been used locally.:
1 Refurbish, re-glaze the existing sashes and add seals
Single glazing replaced with ‘slimline’ double glazing or vacuum glazing (Fineo or LandVac), with draught-proofing seals added. You are likely to have to arrange for the final decoration of the windows after this work has been done, internally and externally.

4 Secondary glazing
Magnetic-strip Secondary Glazing
Magnetic-strip secondary glazing is one of the most cost-effective and unobtrusive household measures for reducing fuel costs and improving comfort and warmth; but it is very little advertised (unlike the well-known and more expensive/ obtrusive framed secondary glazing), so a small team in Lewes, East Sussex have made a short video for householders interested in its advantages and installation process.
