How we work in Newburn
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Newburn building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Evidence you can file
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Newburn around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
What to check before ordering fire-rated escape route glazing in Newburn
Vision through doors
Corridor subdivision doors and double-swing doors normally need vision panels so people do not collide.
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.
