01

Our Approach to Reducing Street Noise

Effective noise reduction begins with identifying the primary pathways where sound enters your home. Rather than resorting to bulky secondary glazing that hides original features, we focus on high-performance draught-proofing and glass upgrades. We machine hidden, high-quality brush seals into new staff and parting beads. This seals the gaps around the sash where street noise and draughts typically bypass the frame, ensuring your windows remain functional and silent.

02

Can You Improve Soundproofing Without Replacing Frames?

We frequently upgrade existing Victorian and Edwardian timber sash boxes to accommodate A-rated double glazing. By integrating acoustic-grade glass into original or newly crafted sashes, we achieve a significant reduction in noise pollution. These units are designed with narrow sightlines, ensuring that the finished product satisfies conservation requirements while providing modern comfort. We rely on seasoned timber and traditional joinery methods to maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic charm of your windows.

03

Expert Solutions for Conservation Areas

Property owners in conservation areas often face strict limitations regarding what can be changed on their homes. Because we focus on timber sash restoration and repair, our techniques are generally sympathetic to planning controls. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace or an Edwardian villa, we work to restore the performance of your sashes using traditional profiles. We ensure that every improvement—from sill repairs to glazing upgrades—is completed to a standard that aligns with the character of your local neighbourhood.

"We are very happy with Eden Joinery's work: we had a completely new sash fitted, and four sashes fitted into our existing frames. Our windows look fantastic - and no more draughts! Terry and son were courteous, tidy, with competitive rates, and took obvious pride in their work. They went the extra mile to fix a problem with one of our frames, and all windows were finished to a high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear technical guidance from Charlie Burgess on acoustic draught-proofing, double glazing, and tackling street noise in period properties across South London.

Will soundproofing my sash windows also stop draughts?

 +

Yes. The two go hand-in-hand. Most noise enters through the same gaps that let in cold air. When we install our draught-proofing system, we use hidden brush seals to close these gaps. This stops the rattling and prevents air-borne noise from entering your home, making the room both quieter and warmer.

Can I use acoustic glass in my existing original sash frames?

 +

In many cases, yes. If your original box frames are in good condition, we can often fit new bespoke sashes containing acoustic glass or double glazing into the existing openings. If the timber sills or lower boxes have rotted, we can perform a sill splice repair using seasoned hardwood to make the frame structurally sound enough to hold the new, heavier glass.

Does acoustic glass look different from normal glass?

 +

Acoustic laminated glass looks virtually identical to standard glazing. It doesn't have a tint or a strange reflection. The "magic" happens in the invisible interlayer between the panes. Your windows will keep their historic look, and the only difference you will notice is the silence when you close them.

Do I need planning permission for soundproof double glazing?

 +

This depends on your specific location. If you are in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, like many parts of Wandsworth and Clapham, you may need permission to change from single to double glazing. However, timber repairs and draught-proofing usually don't require consent. Charlie Burgess can advise you on the local rules for your specific street during the initial survey.

How much noise reduction can I actually expect?

 +

While no window can block 100% of sound, upgrading from leaky single glazing to acoustic double glazing can reduce perceived noise by up to 50-70%. This is the difference between hearing every car engine and feeling like the traffic is a distant hum.

What happens to my window weights when you add heavier glass?

 +

Acoustic glass and double glazing are heavier than original single panes. To ensure your windows still glide smoothly, we rebalance the entire system. This involves opening the weight pockets and adding lead or cast iron counterweights to match the new sash weight. We also replace old cords with heavy-duty wax-impregnated cotton cords to ensure long-term durability.
