What is the issue with character properties and secondary glazing?
We are fortunate to find many beautiful character properties throughout the UK. In fact, 1 in 5 houses in the UK were built pre-1919, although many have been altered since.
However for some, the windows in these lovely houses can cause issues such as mould and draughts. These can be difficult and costly problems for you to solve.
