- Anodised and powder-coated finishes
- Handover evidence
- Matching fire-rated doors within the system
- Integrity and insulating glass to the system schedule
What every Hereford quote includes
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 Hereford budgets are not open-ended.
Honest about unknowns
If an existing frame in a Hereford building has no traceable evidence, we say so and price the options rather than guess.
Key checks for Hereford projects
Deflection and fixings
Head details and fixing centres come from the system documentation, especially beneath long-span slabs.
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.

Aluminium Fire-Rated Screens: Hereford questions
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.
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.
Do you carry out aluminium fire-rated screens in Hereford?
Yes. We survey and install in Hereford and across Herefordshire, including the HR1 district and nearby Great Malvern.
Can you price aluminium fire-rated screens in Hereford from photos?
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.
