Fire-Rated Glazed Screens
Internal glazed screens that keep compartments and corridors protected.
Learn more →Fire-rated escape route glazing in Epsom is usually needed for one of three reasons: new building work, a change to an existing fire-resisting wall, or defects found in an inspection. We handle all three.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Whether the building is in central Epsom or the wider KT17, KT19, KT21, KT9, SM3, SM7 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Ewell, Banstead, Sutton. Epsom is about 20 km from Woking, the largest town in our Surrey coverage.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Epsom budgets are not open-ended.
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every quote in Epsom identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Sector guides below cover industrial units, hotels and other buildings in Epsom.
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 survey and install in Epsom and across Surrey, including the KT17 district and nearby Ewell.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.

We visit Epsom to measure, record existing marks and check the frames and substrate.
Your quote lists each item with its classification and the evidence it relies on.
We install, photograph seals and fixings before closing up, and hand over the schedule.
