How we work in Hereford
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Hereford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Hereford around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Hereford identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Key checks for Hereford projects
Stair enclosures
Glazing into a protected stair needs particular care; the rules depend on whether the stair is part of a protected shaft and how the building is used.
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.
Inspection regimes
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.

Questions about fire-rated escape route glazing in Hereford
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.
Do escape route doors need vision panels?
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
Do you carry out fire-rated escape route glazing in Hereford?
Yes. We survey and install in Hereford and across Herefordshire, including the HR1 district and nearby Great Malvern.
