Secondary Glazing in Pimlico
Pimlico's Cubitt-planned Regency stucco squares and terraces are among Westminster's most intact 19th-century streetscapes. Nearly the entire area sits inside the Pimlico Conservation Area, with concentrated listing around Warwick Square, Eccleston Square and St George's Square.
Property types we serve
Regency and early Victorian stucco terraces, Dolphin Square mansion flats, Millbank riverside apartments, Church of England properties around Vincent Square.
Millbank and Vauxhall Bridge Road noise
Vauxhall Bridge Road carries 60,000+ vehicles/day; Millbank riverside properties also face river-taxi horn noise.
Stucco façade preservation
Original 6-over-6 sashes with fine glazing bars must remain visible from the street — internal-only interventions are essential.
Riverside condensation risk
Millbank and Grosvenor Road properties face elevated relative humidity from the Thames. Cavity ventilation strategy is critical.

Frequently asked about Pimlico
How do I manage condensation on Millbank riverside secondary glazing?
We spec a controlled cavity with trickle vents or a rebated dry-air pocket to keep the inner face above dew point year-round. Full method in our Condensation Control guide.
Can I keep the original interior shutters?
Yes. We install the secondary frame behind the sash but forward of the shutter boxing, so shutters continue to fold and close as designed.
