What our aluminium fire-rated screens service includes in Greenford

Aluminium fire-rated screens are glazed walls built from aluminium profiles that have been tested with fire-resistant glass and insulating inserts. They suit offices, healthcare and education buildings that want a clean, modern frame matching the rest of the glazing.

  • Anodised and powder-coated finishes
  • Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
  • Matching fire-rated doors within the system
  • Fire-stopping and perimeter details

Key checks for Greenford projects

Matching non-rated glazing

Aluminium fire screens can be visually matched to non-rated partitions elsewhere, so a floor reads as one design while only some walls are fire-rated.

Door hardware

Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.

Ratings available

Aluminium systems are commonly available at 30 and 60 minutes; higher ratings are less common and may point to a steel system instead.

How we work in Greenford

England rules applied

Designs follow the building and fire safety rules that apply in England, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Fixed written quotes

After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Greenford budgets are not open-ended.

Honest about unknowns

If an existing frame in a Greenford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.

England regulations that shape the job

England Which rules apply?

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.

FAQs for Greenford

Will the frames match our other glazing?

Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.

Is aluminium suitable for fire-rated glazing?

Yes, when it is a system designed and tested for fire. Ordinary aluminium partitions and windows are not fire-rated, however thick the glass.

Do you work on occupied buildings in Greenford?

Yes. We plan phasing, out-of-hours work and temporary protection so the building can stay in use where the fire strategy allows.

How quickly can you survey in Greenford?

Survey timing in Greenford depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
