What our fire-rated escape route glazing service includes in Walkden
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.
- Lobby and corridor screens with doors
- Stair enclosure screens
- Smoke seals and closers on doors
- Corridor subdivision doors with vision panels
How we work in Walkden
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Walkden identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Fixed written quotes
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Walkden budgets are not open-ended.
What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Walkden
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.
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Keep routes clear
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.

England regulations that shape the job
England Which rules apply?
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.
