Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →For Hampton buildings, we supply, replace and check fire-rated escape route glazing wherever the fire strategy depends on it, working to the tested system rather than the glass alone.
Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
Escape route glazing is fire-rated glass in the walls and doors of protected stairs, lobbies and corridors, the routes people rely on to leave a building safely. It has to hold back fire and smoke for the rated time, and on many routes it has to keep heat away from people passing it as well.
We can phase work in Hampton around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Hampton budgets are not open-ended.
If an existing frame in a Hampton building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
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.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
We plan installation so escape routes stay available while the building is occupied, or agree temporary arrangements with whoever is responsible for fire safety in the building.
Whether the building is in central Hampton or the wider TW12, KT8, TW11, KT7, TW13, TW16 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Hanworth, Sunbury-on-Thames, Walton-on-Thames. Hampton sits within our Greater London coverage, alongside Hanworth.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
In higher-risk buildings, broadly 18 metres or seven storeys with two or more homes, the Building Safety Regulator is the building control authority. England is also phasing out BS 476 references from Approved Document B, with the remaining fire-resistance references due to go in September 2029.
We can survey and quote for schools and colleges, retail and leisure units and other building types in Hampton.
Yes, if it is fire-rated to the required classification and, for integrity-only glass, within the limits building guidance sets for that position.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.
Survey timing in Hampton 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.
