Secondary Glazing in Marylebone
Marylebone combines dense Georgian and Victorian residential fabric with the Harley Street medical quarter. Marylebone High Street, Baker Street and Marylebone Road generate sustained road noise, and much of the area sits inside the Harley Street or East Marylebone conservation areas where original window fabric must be retained.
Property types we serve
Georgian and Regency townhouses, red-brick Edwardian mansion blocks, Harley Street medical consulting rooms, boutique hotels along Baker Street.
Marylebone Road traffic
The A501 through-route generates 75+ dB LAeq at first-floor level. Consulting rooms on Harley Street require confidentiality-grade acoustic isolation.
Medical confidentiality
Consulting rooms need Rw 42+ dB between rooms and to the street to meet BMA privacy guidance.
