We supply and install glazed screens, doors and panels on escape routes in offices, flats, schools and healthcare buildings, working from the fire strategy so integrity and insulation are used in the right places, and smoke control is maintained.
Survey visits can be arranged anywhere in Burton upon Trent, including the DE14, DE15, DE13 districts, and in nearby Swadlincote, Derby, Lichfield. Burton upon Trent is about 42 km from Stoke-on-Trent, the largest town in our Staffordshire coverage.
Doors on escape routes usually need smoke seals as well as fire resistance, so the smoke-control classification matters too.

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.
