How we work in Pitsea
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Pitsea building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
England rules applied
Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rated systems, not just rated glass
Every quote in Pitsea identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
Key checks for Pitsea projects
Discontinued products
When the original glass is no longer available, the replacement must be covered by the frame's evidence or an assessment.
Make it safe first
A broken pane can be a cut hazard and a gap in compartmentation. We can make it safe on the first visit while the replacement is cut.
Interim arrangements
Whoever is responsible for fire safety may need temporary measures until the new pane is fitted; we can advise on practical options.

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.
