How we work in Luton

Rated systems, not just rated glass

Every quote in Luton identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.

Evidence you can file

You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Luton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

Key checks for Luton projects

Inspection regimes

In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.

Smoke control

Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

Integrity versus insulation

Building guidance limits the amount and position of integrity-only glass on protected routes because people may need to pass close to it while fire is on the other side. Insulating glass removes most of those limits.

Luton coverage and nearby towns

Coverage around Luton includes the LU1, LU2 districts and nearby Dunstable, Harpenden, Hitchin. Luton is the main town we cover in Bedfordshire.

Questions about fire-rated escape route glazing in Luton

Why would a corridor need insulating glass?

Because people escaping may pass right beside the glass. Insulating glass limits the temperature rise on the escape side, so people can pass it more safely.

Can work be done while the building is occupied?

Yes, with phasing and temporary arrangements agreed with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.

How quickly can you survey in Luton?

Survey timing in Luton depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.

Which rules apply to fire-rated glazing in Luton?
