Aluminium softens at a lower temperature than steel, so fire-rated aluminium systems rely on specific internal inserts, reinforcements and glazing details. We install only the tested system as a whole, in anodised or powder-coated finishes, with doors and side panels where the evidence allows.
We cover Ilford and the surrounding postcode districts, including IG1, E12, IG3, IG2, IG11, IG4. Nearby towns we also serve include Barking, Becontree, Leytonstone. Ilford is one of the Greater London districts we cover.
Hinges, locks and closers fitted to doors within the screen must be compatible with the door's evidence.
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.
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.
If an existing frame in a Ilford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
You receive the classification references, glass marks and installation photographs for your fire safety records.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so Ilford budgets are not open-ended.

Usually they can be matched closely in profile and colour so rated and non-rated areas look consistent.
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
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.
