The window stock in The Grange

The Grange is grand Victorian and Edwardian detached villas behind walled gardens. Window stock runs to over-tall 2-over-2 or 1-over-1 sashes, often 2000mm+ in height, with thick astragals and original 4mm cylinder glass. Several Dick Place and Lauder Road addresses carry curved bay glazing that needs single-pour replacement units.

Planning and conservation in The Grange

Frequently asked questions

My Grange villa has original cylinder glass — should I keep it?
Yes — original 1880s-1900s cylinder glass adds 5-10% to property value at sale and is irreplaceable. We retain every original pane and only quote replacement where panes are cracked or missing.
Can I install double glazing on a Category B listed villa?
Slimline retrofit is considered on a pane-by-pane basis where original glass is already gone. Most Grange LBC outcomes favour restoration over double glazing — secondary glazing is the consent-friendly winter-warmth route.
How much does a full Grange villa window refurbishment cost?
£32,000-£65,000 for a typical 16-22 window detached villa, depending on listing status, scaffold requirement and double-glazing scope. Survey reports are free and itemised.
Do you handle the planning pre-application for me?
Yes — included in our project price for any Grange project over £15,000. We meet the case officer on site with our heritage architect partner before submitting.
