Double glazing in Southgate
Southgate is our home patch. Our showroom is at 4 Hampden Square, N14, so when you book a survey you are dealing with a local, family run firm whose surveyor and fitters work in these streets every week.
We replace windows and doors, build porches and conservatories, and upgrade glazing on every kind of Southgate house, from the interwar semis that fill most of N14 to the older houses around Southgate Green.
Southgate homes and what suits them
Most of Southgate was built in the 1930s, after the Piccadilly line reached Southgate station in 1933. The typical house is a large semi with a two storey bay, a recessed porch and, often, leaded lights in the upper panes. For these houses we usually fit uPVC bay windows with slim frames and, where you want to keep the period look, Georgian bars or leaded detail in the top lights.
Front doors take a lot of weather on these houses. Our composite doors come in period styles and colours that sit well on a 1930s facade, and a new porch is one of the most popular upgrades for a Southgate semi.
Southgate Green and Southgate Circus
Southgate has two conservation areas. Southgate Green, around The Green, the High Street, Cannon Hill and Waterfall Road, has Georgian terraces and villas with twelve pane sash windows, and the council's own appraisal names sash windows replaced by plastic casements as one of the changes that has harmed the area. Southgate Circus is the conservation area around the listed 1933 station and its parade.
If your house is in either area, we check at the survey whether an Article 4 direction applies to your property and what the council is likely to accept. Our vertical sliding sash windows and timber alternative flush sash windows are designed for exactly these houses.
