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.
Whether the building is in central Sunbury-on-Thames or the wider TW16, TW17, KT12, TW12, KT8, TW15 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Walton-on-Thames, Hampton, Hanworth. Sunbury-on-Thames is about 14 km from Woking, the largest town in our Surrey coverage.
In England, blocks of flats over 11 metres need regular checks of communal fire doors, including glazed ones.
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
We can phase work in Sunbury-on-Thames around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.

Fire-rated escape route glazing applies to many building types in Sunbury-on-Thames, including retail and leisure units and public buildings.
Doors that subdivide corridors or swing both ways normally do, and the glass must be fire-rated to suit the door.
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.
Building work in Sunbury-on-Thames follows the Building Regulations 2010 and Approved Document B, and occupied buildings are covered by the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
