How we work in Walkden
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Walkden 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.
Work around occupied buildings
We can phase work in Walkden around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Key checks for Walkden projects
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.
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.
External use
Some aluminium systems are tested for external facades, others for internal use only. We match the system to the position.

Questions about aluminium fire-rated screens in Walkden
Can aluminium fire screens be used outside?
Some systems are tested for external use. If the screen forms part of the building envelope we specify an external-rated system and glass.
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.
Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Walkden?
Yes. We survey and install in Walkden and across Greater Manchester, including the M28 district and nearby Farnworth.
How quickly can you survey in Walkden?
Survey timing in Walkden 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.
